setup of the MX1000: .xbindkeysrc with xmacroplay

Binding mouse events of the thumbbuttens to XVkdb by xbindkeys kind of sucks. I makes Firefox freeze. Hers my new .xbindkeyrc using xmacroplay.

Ok, this is my .xbindkeysrc

# Backward and Forward buttons
# "xvkbd -text "\A\[Left]"" # freezes firefox and makes mouse cursor jump
"echo -e 'KeyStrPress Alt_L\nKeyStrPress Left\nKeyStrRelease Left\nKeyStrRelease Alt_L' | xmacroplay :0 &" #better
 m:0x10 + b:8"
#"xvkbd -text "\A\[Right]""
"echo -e 'KeyStrPress Alt_L\nKeyStrPress Right\nKeyStrRelease Right\nKeyStrRelease Alt_L' | xmacroplay :0 &"
 m:0x10 + b:9

the idea was stolen from Stephan Reichelt Nice Work!
Get xmacro sources and make. copy xmacroplay to /usr/bin. I couldn't find a Suse rpm for this.
