And this is one reason I had to stop using Linux. I used Ubuntu 11.04, in
Classic, and restoring and widening scrollbars. I couldn't go back to 10.10 lts
because it didn't support the kernel patch for the Alps touchpad on my
computer. I didn't go forward to 11.10 because of reports that it went further
in disabling scrollbars. I think Shuttleworth had commented that "everyone" can
use scrollwheels and gestures, so no one needs scrollbars any more. (Well, I am
not everyone, and I use special scrolling software now but would like wider
scrollbars too.)

It's probably better for different distros to work out how to make a common
installer for multiple distros.
