o The Scrollbar class seems all goofed up, and in different ways
        on different platforms:

        - On Sun, there are problems with the "span" of the scrollbar.
          I could find no way to make the scrollbar realize that my
          entire logical area would fit within the "visible" are,
          and therefore the scrollbar should display with the
          movable part being the entire size of the scrollbar. (Did
          that make sense?) In other words even if I explicitly do
          something like

                Scrollbar sb = ...
                sb.setValues(0, 100, 0, 100);

          the proportional size of the scrollbar thumb is drawn as
          if it is only about 50% visible. If this explanation doesn't
          make sense, I can send you a code example that demonstrates
          the problem.

        - On Windows 95, the scrollbar behaves much better (the above
          problem doesn't occur), but it is just plain UGLY! Do you
          plan to use the Windows native controls for FCS?

        - On both platforms, there are scrolling problems. For one,
          the scrollbar doesn't move if you hold down the mouse button
          on one of the arrows on the end. On Sun, clicking in the
          area between the end arrow and the scrollbar thumb acts
          very weird -- you get movement only if you move the mouse
          around while holding down the button! I think this also
          happens if you hold down the button over the arrows.
