No.  The reason for having the event box is to have a window to draw 
into, not to trap events.  If you make it invisible, there will be no 
window to draw into and the scroll bar will draw into the parent window, 
which is what we don't want.  Since Emacs draws and clears the window 
with X calls, the scroll bar does not know it should redraw itself, 
leading to all kind of races.
