No, that only allows me to change button numbers around, I want to be
able to see where the *actions* are defined.  I.e. where does it say
that a Double-Click of Button 1 selects some text?

Xmodmap allows me to (say) use button 9 instead of button 1 but it
doesn't allow me to change "Double Click Button 1" to "Single Click
Button 9".
