I guess that would be better than no change at all, but I think it's much
worse than the other solutions being dicussed -- I think it would just feel
wrong (as the current gtk scrollbar does in emacs).

I suspect it's also probably a pain (or impossible) to implement, as the
scrollbar is drawn by the theme, which emacs has little control over (and as
themes have a fair amount of flexibility in drawing, if emacs tried to draw
something itself, it would almost certainly screw it up with some themes).
