'imwheel -p -k -b "67"' is probably wrong. This limits button grabbing to 
buttons 6 and 7, where imwheel maps the buttons 6/7 to wheel up/down.
If you run 'xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"' the buttons are mapped as 
should be. I'm running imwheel w/o options and I use the default imwheelrc, 
which was installed by the port.
