agreed (I was thinking aloud).  I read through x11.c, and didn't
see any button-specific code for the scrollbars.  Kevin's improvements
have something to do with the way dragging/scrolling is done, but
the documentation at hand isn't clear (perhaps I have some email
that clarifies the nature of the improvement).

By the way, I ran into a regression from one of the changes that I
made in 9.8f - there's a patch in ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/

(at the moment I'm trying to close out a set of changes for xterm).
