Well, I'll be buggered. I guess I have to downgrade my complaint to
the much less serious one of "these X resources aren't documented in
the Info file and don't show up under editres". Of course, I still
prefer the look of the old scrollbar, but since it's now possible for
me to make the new scrollbar non-blinding, don't worry about me.
Cheers,
