I wonder why GTK+ doesn't just use double scroll arrows by default. I
don't know why anyone would ever want to *not* have them!

BTW: The best implementation of scrollbars I've seen so far is on BeOS. 
Unless you turn them off, both ends of the scrollbar have double arrows. 
If the scrollbars get too small to fit all of this (e.g., if you shrink
the window), the extra arrows go away!
