 You can set mouse buttons on a per window/program basis to have
 different effects for whichever window has focus.  Thus search for
 Firefox and paste for Thunderbird.
 
 You also might need lomoco to turn on the button.  I remember with my
 MX1000, I had to enable the two scroll wheels as buttons.  Otherwise
 they were used by the mouse to scroll fast which I found pretty useless.

thanks for the suggestions!

We were successful with btnx yesterday ... and now we don't touch it
anymore (as long as it still works).

Has anyone of you managed to map the Search button of the Logitech

A client wants to use that button for panning drawings ... we fiddled
with xmodmap etc but with no success so far.

That button gives not button press event ... so it's kind of strange.

Maybe I have to add some xorg-config section?

EmulateWheelButton sounds interesting because panning with pressing the
wheel works, but is inaccurate (you often move the wheel as well ...).
