I'll top post this one:

OOPS! And PLEASE ignore my post, in Vol 45/Issue 46, where I talked about this being requiring "just an easy change": This requires no changes at all. It's already supported, and it even works back in 4.7.4. (Maybe earlier, but 4.7.4 is the earliest Release I have "lying around" for test purposes.)

You only need to ignore the Doco Comment about acceptedButtons taking only 3 values ;) Y can give it all 5, like this:

acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton | Qt.RightButton
                                           | Qt.MiddleButton | Qt.XButton1 | Qt.XButton2

and your MouseArea will start getting Press and Release events (plus DoubleClick, plus Press and Hold) for 'BackButton' and 'ForwardButton'.
Here's my Test/Demo/Example program for you to try, and use as a model (just run it using "qmlviewer"): http://pastebin.kde.org/442676/ I set the expiration on that Paste at 30 days. It will be an official example, but with 27 buttons, in Qt5.

As far as I can recall, it was decided that the "back button" would be implemented in the new Kickoff as support for the mouse's "back button", as well as support for the "backspace" key, in conjunction with the other keyboard navigation. (arrow keys)

I would appreciate Martin and Aaron's confirmation that this is the finalized concept that will be implemented for 4.9.

Cheers,

I can confirm (or actually deny) that partly.
They did indeed want to do that, however it was then figured out that QML didn't get all the mouse events required for that. That should be fixed in Qt5 but not in Qt4. So i'm afraid the mouse back/forward button support isn't going to be in anytime soon.
