My setup is nearly the same, except for two differences:

I call imwheel as:
imwheel -p -b "000067" 1>/dev/null 2>&1

and therefore have to write in imwheelrc:

"Firebird$"
None,           Thumb1, Alt_L|Left
None,           Thumb2, Alt_L|Right

"Konsole$"
None,           Thumb1, Shift_L|Left
None,           Thumb2, Shift_L|Right

".*"
,Thumb1,        Thumb6
,Thumb2,        Thumb7


I prefer this, because 6,7 are actually the thumb buttons, so I don't 
have to mentally fiddle with different terms for the same buttons.
Huh, I really can`t remember, where I got the last line. Just re-reading 
the man page doesn't reveal Thumb6 or Thumb7. Maybe the man page 
changed, since I fought with imwheel and my thumb buttons. :-)
