   I tend to suspect that whether the emacs scrollbar is character
   based does _not_ depend on whether you are using toolkit
   scrollbars, though I'm not about to recompile it to find out :-)

In the presence of tons of invisible text, the native scrollbar
seems to behave like I would expect it to behave.  That may only be
because I have strange expectations, but anyway.
