Get mouse thumb buttons to work with pcmanfm?

I've always wanted pcmanfm to read my thumb buttons (button 8 and 9) correctly

This is how I set it for applications such as firefox to read my button 8 and 9 correctly:

In ~/.xbindkeysrc

## Mouse Thumb Button mapping
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[XF86Back]""
m:0x0 + b:8 
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[XF86Forward]""
m:0x0 + b:9

So that button8=back and button9=forward

Any ideas? Maybe a little tweak in the source code?

Edit::

I scanned through the source codes and found some useful tips:

Alt+Left=go back
Alt+Right=go forward
Alt+UP=go to parent
Alt+Home=go ~

Never known that. I think it'd be just as simple as these lines to add mouse button 8 or just keyboard "\[XF86Forward]" which is bound to button 8 to the source. But I'm no coder I don't know how. Too bad.

BTW, I think I've posted to the wrong section. LOL
