It is not that KDE doesn't respect it, all linux apps will be the same . It is
a well known problem in X that for some reason it always considers the wheel
to be the last two buttons which is silly because there are all different
button mice out there. Also X can not by itself tell the number of buttons
which is why in your case you need to tell it 10 button and z-axis is 9 and
10
A million people have had this problem and fixed it with xev with the main
pronlem being that they were not typing the line correctly. Some systems need
X restarted after the change. xev really needs to run at X startup so it
should be added to your /home/USERNAME/.Xmodmap file or either (or both) of
your ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession files.
Persevere; It DOES work...
