Actually, when I saw the transparency, I immediately checked whether it 
wasn't Chrome's default behavior on Linux ;-) (given that I switched from 
Windows less than a week ago, it woudln't have surprised me much that I 
wouldn't have noticed it, as much things I read don't have an horizontal 
scrollbar, and thus wouldn't need transparency on the vertical scrollbar 
either).

I didn't actually know that bug until 2 mins before sending the previous 
message: I just search on crbug.com for "scroll bar opacity". You don't need 
to know things by heart when you have a good search engine ;-)
(well, I have a good memory, so things regularly "ring a bell", and the 
search engine is then just the mean to find it back)
