I have a mx1000 mouse and I currently have to through a lengthy work-around to
enable the extra buttons. 

It would be cool if it did this without having to edit any config files or
install any extra software. Its kidna crazy I still have to do this, windows and
OS X do it out the box

Here is a thread on the forum I started about this:

If you look at the thread for the work-around:

You can see there that is plenty of action on the thread so I think this should
definately be considered for dapper. A gui for configuring it could also be
considered for this.
