I did some more testing about imwheel:
If you run 'imwheel -p -k "45"' things should work as before + moused support 
working. It seems that Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" works fine, while 
"/dev/psm0" switches buttons 4 5 to 6 7.

Another thing that showed up was that some newer X-apps can do 
button/kbd-event translation out of the box. So maybe some of theese appear 
to be much better "mouse-supported", when imwheel is not running (ie. kde).
