The only easy way of doing this that I've found is by using imwheel.

if you run it "imwheel -b "67"
6 and 7 being the buttons you want to map to functions. Then edit the /etc/X11/imwheelrc file to do whatever you want, the buttons will still be called "up" and "down" though since imwheel was designed for mouse wheels.

If anyone finds a better way of doing it, please post it here for everyone.
