It has been smaller at one time for me, but screen resolutions have
increased.  Maybe it would make sense for such resources to be
specifiable as a float and have it measured as a multiple of the
standard font's character pitch rather than an absolute number of
pixels.

I want to be able to hit the scrollbar without squinting somewhat
reliably, and 0.8 characters are more or less what makes that convenient
for me.
