Review request for Plasma, Kevin Ottens, Aaron J. Seigo, and Martin Gräßlin.


Changes
-------

Tilt-Wheel, "XButton1", and "XButton2" support in Kickoff 4.8
(i.e., workaround for removal of the Back Button)


Description
-------

Workaround removal of the "Back Button" (in 4.7): In the
"Applications" GUI, users with tilt-wheel mice can use "Tilt-Left"
as a "Back Button" equivalent. And, if the focused item is a
Parent for other items, "Tilt-Right" will move to the right,
expanding the Children.

For "gamer" mice, "XButton1" works like "Tilt-Left"; and "XButton2"
works like "Tilt-Right".


This addresses bug 289519.

Testing
-------

Compiled, Built and Run. (Although another function, which I did not touch, provokes two "unused variable" warnings).
My desktop is otherwise 4.8.1, and I am using this code "in production". 
New buttons work; Tilt wheel works; I have seen no regressions.


Thanks,

Richard Stockton
