In Emacs 21 you can click with button 1 on the buffer name in the modeline
to cycle forward, and button 3 to cycle backward.  There is a tooltip
that says this when the mouse is over the buffer name.

Where I work some people where used to Microsoft style cycling so I made
some lisp to do that.  But now they use only the modeline.
