It's just ugly. (I do like the NeXT scrollbars too). As for usage, I just
use the following in my XTerm resource file; it's faster than trying to get
the mouse onto the right scrollbar area:
*VT100.translations: #override \
Ctrl<Key>Prior: scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
Ctrl<Key>Next: scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
Ctrl<Key>Insert: scroll-back(1,line)\n\
Ctrl<Key>Delete: scroll-forw(1,line)
