It is not that KDE doesn't respect it, all linux apps will be the same . It is 
a well known problem in X that for some reason it always considers the wheel 
to be the last two buttons which is silly because there are all different 
button mice out there. Also X can not by itself tell the number of buttons 
which is why in your case you need to tell it 10 button and z-axis is 9 and 
10

A million people have had this problem and fixed it with xev with the main 
pronlem being that they were not typing the line correctly. Some systems need 
X restarted after the change. xev really needs to run at X startup so it 
should be added to your /home/USERNAME/.Xmodmap file or either (or both) of 
your ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession files. 

Persevere; It DOES work...
