Using the button assignment to change the scroll direction was never
intended, but worked for a quite some time as a consequence of our
implementation. At the moment I'm not aware of any way to swap the scroll
direction, and I'm not sure if we want to add one in given that our
eventual goal is to have gestures handled entirely out-of-driver (via e.g.
apps like Touchegg or framework integration like GTK).
