1) If you have a scrollbar on an xterm, keyboard input goes to the
scrollbar instead of to the xterm. However, a scrollbar for emacs will
only receive mouse-events. I'm not sure if this is a bug or
intentional, but I thought it might be a bug since the xterm is
selected-for-input when the cursor is in the scrollbar region.
The closest I could come to documentation for this is the man page for
xterm. Options "-sk" and "+sk" are referring to something close to
this, but I have a feeling this flags aren't acting properly, either...
Specifically, no matter which flag I use, the xterm will jump to the
bottom of the scroll region when I type in the xterm. (Unless, of
course, my cursor is in the scroll region, in which case nothing
happens.)
