[GNC] configuring scroll bars

[Adrien Monteleone]

I didn’t think either Firefox or LibreOffice were GTK. I thought each had its own toolkit.

GIMP is GTK (it was originally the GIMP Tool Kit) as is Gedit. (among others belonging to the Gnome desktop suite) Maybe try installing something like those and seeing what the scrollbars do.

Adrien
