So you didn't click any of those links?
In particular the last one that explains what LXDM sources when it starts a session?

ok, i have /etc/profile

where exactly in that text of that file should i insert which text to autostart xbindkeys?

ok, i have /etc/profile

And you're not going to put it in there.
The rather obvious candidate would have been ~/.xprofile

where here?
cat /etc/profile

# /etc/profile

# Append "$1" to $PATH when not already in.
# This function API is accessible to scripts in /etc/profile.d
append_path () {
    case ":$PATH:" in
        *:"$1":*)
            ;;
        *)
            PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}$1"
    esac
}

# Append our default paths
append_path '/usr/local/sbin'
append_path '/usr/local/bin'
append_path '/usr/bin'

# Force PATH to be environment
export PATH

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
	for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
		test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
	done
	unset profile
fi

# Unload our profile API functions
unset -f append_path

# Source global bash config, when interactive but not posix or sh mode
if test "$BASH" &&\
   test "$PS1" &&\
   test -z "$POSIXLY_CORRECT" &&\
   test "${0#-}" != sh &&\
   test -r /etc/bash.bashrc
then
	. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH

Add it?
How old are you?
Edit: and what distro are you running? Ubuntu?

The first line isn't a proper shebang and you don't need a shebang in that file anyway.
xbindkeys forks by default, otherwise you'd better do that.

what should i do, if i want to do that all under evdev?

maus configuration evdev
$ xev -event button | grep button
state 0x0, button 9, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 9, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES
9 is front thumb key and should be left ctrl. 8 is back thumb key and should be left shift.
grep -E "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -E -B1 'Handlers.*mouse'
N: Name="Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse"
H: Handlers=event2 mouse0

N: Name="Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse"
H: Handlers=event2 mouse0
then in xorg.conf ...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Evdev Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse"
Option "evBits" "+1-2"
Option "keyBits" "~272-287"
Option "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
Option "Pass" "3"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection

then change 1 line in server layout in xorg.conf ...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Monitor0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Evdev Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

but what is missing for my 2 thumb keys to use it as left shift and left ctrl?

i find it well, if i know the evdev alternative.

maybe anyone can help me complete this.

I linked you examples on ow to do tis twice before and I also told you before that the quoted segment is irrelevant to your case.
