After trying several things to get the extra side buttons on my microsoft mouse to work (which btw work fine on another ubuntu install on a desktop pc) I had completely given up.
Then I started looking about the caps lock light not working and found out that it was mouseemu's fault, so I uninstalled it and lo and behold: my side buttons started to work ! Please, get ride of mouseemu already (at least on macs)
