[java-gnome-hackers] MouseButton improvements

[Vreixo F. <met...@ya...>]

Dear all,

I send you this tiny patch that changes MouseButton constant, according
to:

1- I have deprecated constants for mouse buttons 4 and 5 (wheel), as
they, together with buttons 6 and 7, are not mapped to mouse-clicks
events, but to scroll-event, so it makes no sense to treat that as mouse
buttons. Or do you know any case where these constants make sense?

2- I have added constants for mouse buttons 8 (BACK) and 9 (FORWARD), as
many new mice have such buttons, and not including them causes an
exception to be thrown. I have not named it EIGHT or NINE because I
really think that using the name the user expects (in the same way we
have done with LEFT click, MIDDLE, etc) is a better option.

What to you think about these changes? Do you agree? Does any of you
have a mouse with more than 9 buttons? If so, can you provide meaningful
names for those?

Andrew, I'd like to propose this patch for mainline, btw

Cheers
Vreixo
