[GNC] configuring scroll bars

[mcmurchy1917techy]

I seem to have a resolution that works for me.

I've kept as packaged the /usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

I've created abespoke .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css in my home directory. See 
below.

The code chunk that starts

It seems to do everything I want. Needs some more testing, just to make
