Xtk (and ATK for that matter) scrollbars use a very clever and handy definition for the left/right mouse keys: a left mouse-click in the scrollbar scrolls so that the line next to the mouse pointer is at to the top of the window; a right mouse-click scrolls so that the line at the top of the window is next to the mouse-pointer. Thus you can intuitively and precisely control the amount by which the window scrolls due to mouse l/r scrollbar clicks (near the top of the bar = "scroll a little", near the bottom = "scroll a lot").
Ok, but should we move Motif scroll bars to the right also then? They don't behave like that either.

You can't even remap buttons, they are hardcoded in the C-code.
