With the old Gtk scrollbar behavior, you can scroll end of buffer to
the last window line, and then there will be some area of the trough
visible below the thumb.

I was suggesting to color this area.  It is clearly non-empty, as
anyone can see by trying out the Gtk scrollbar.  (I changed back from
Gtk to the native scrollbar some days ago, so if the Gtk scrollbar
changed in the last 4 days, then disregard my ranting...)
