bug#6592: 24.0.50; Fringe at scroll bar side is wider (sometimes).

[Jan D.]

 This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

% emacs -Q -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso10646-1

(or monospace-18 if you have Xft).

Notice that the fringe close to scroll bar is much wider than the other
fringe (see screenshot).  This appears to depend on the font size, as
for smaller fonts, the effect is not that noticable.
For example, with Gtk+ and lucid, monospace-19 shows this rather well,
but for monospace-20, there is little difference.  But for monospace-20
the fringes are much smaller than for monospace-20.  Why?

Seen on lucid, Motif/Lesstif, and Gtk+ Emacs builds.
