FVWM: extra mouse button cannot be used

   I have a logitech mouse with four buttons and a wheel. all the
buttons work when tested using xev:

   left button: button 1
   pressing wheel: button 2
   right button: button 3
   turning wheel: buttons 4&5
   side button: button 6

   buttons 1 - 5 work as expected in fvwm but when I try to bind
something to side button (6) it doesn't work and I get this error message:

[FVWM][ParseBinding]: <<ERROR>> Illegal mouse button in line 6
WTSFI0123456789 N rrrFunction

   here are relevant lines from the line from config file:

Mouse 6 WTSFI0123456789 N testFunction

DestroyFunc testFunction
AddToFunc testFunction
+ "M" Move
+ "M" Raise
+ "C" RaiseLower

   if I use e.g. 2 instead of 6 there's no error message and it works as
expected.

   fvwm verion is 2.4.15 (debian unstable)

   I used to have the button 6 working before, I don't remember which
fvwm version... (I don't have that config file anymore but I don't
remember doing anything special)

   any ideas? TIA!
