You'll have to ask its agent ;)

It's just a XGrabButton call.

Then you take the KApplication::x11Event function to pick it up and WHAM, 
global Events.  I think by binding it to an entire Konqueror window, change 
the RootWindow(..) call to topLevelWindow->handle().


    Display *dpy = XOpenDisplay(0);

    XGrabButton(dpy, 5, AnyModifier, RootWindow(dpy, 0), True, ButtonPress, 
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, None);
    XGrabButton(dpy, 6, AnyModifier, RootWindow(dpy, 0), True, ButtonPress, 
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, None);

    while (1)
    {
        XEvent e;
        XNextEvent(dpy, &e);

        switch (e.xbutton.button)
        {
        case 5:
            {
                string command="dcop `dcop | grep noatun` Noatun back";
                system(command.c_str());
                break;
            }
        case 6:
            {
                string command="dcop `dcop | grep noatun` Noatun forward";
                system(command.c_str());
                break;
            }
        }
    }
