Yes, well, I like them because they _do_ work with other Xaw programs,
like xedit, xman, etc.
Sure, xterm is the most-often used X program ;-), but I don't think you
should coddle it just because it's broken. With xterm, I tend to just grab
the scrollbar 'thumb' and drag it around, ignoring the arrows, which are
the broken bit. And there's always rxvt :-)
Sorry, I don't mean to resurrect this old debate.

I think the same thing goes wrong. I've not installed 1.3 yet, but I think
another option it provides is to turn off the arrows at the top and botton
of the scrollbar, but keep the 3d look. I guess that'd annoy those who
really like xterm's scrollbars exactly as they are now, though...
