=>Just to finish ths thread here is my new script:
=>
=><<< snip-here >>>
=>#!/bin/sh
=># script for toggling mouse buttons and save the settings for kde
=>
=># what is the current setting, or better where to switch to ?
=>mouse_what_to_set() {
=>  xmodmap -pp | cut -c 9,24 | grep -q 11 && echo "Left" || echo "Right"
=>}
=>
=># switch to Left or Right
=>switch_mouse() {
=>  if [ "$1" == "Right" ]; then
=>    list="1 2 3"
=>  else
=>   list="3 2 1"
=>  fi
=>  xmodmap -e "pointer = $list" && kwriteconfig --file kcminputrc --group Mouse --key MouseButtonMapping "${like}Handed"
=>}
=>
=># do the job
=>switch_mouse `mouse_what_to_set`
=>
=><<< snip-here >>>

FYI, the correct equal operator is = not ==. Bash does support both but 
the correct choice is =.  Also, if you're using bash, use [[ instead of [.
