You get a character based scrollbar (Microsoft applications, and
possibly others, on PC's do this), assuming the user has the following
in the Resource Database:

*ScrollBar.width: 1
*ScrollBar.borderWidth: 0
*ScrollBar.foreground: [x]
*ScrollBar.background: [y]

[x] and [y] are the appropriate character name/values/whatever to make
the scrollbar look reasonable.  Perhaps [x] could be '#' and [y] could
be '.'
