Other exceptions include Epiphany, Geany, and Gnome Terminal. The reason so many applications add space on both sides of the scrollbar is partly that there is a low standard for elegance across Gnome (though not just Gnome), so developers don't care about the extra weight and space consumed. But it's also partly that the rounded corners of scrollbar buttons in Clearlooks (and, to a lesser extent, in Human) subtly discourage developers from putting scrollbars inside things with square corners. But putting something with a rounded corner right next to something with a square corner still looks bad even when they have space between them, and so does putting a button with a rounded corner right next to the edge of the screen when the window is minimized (e.g. bug 16045, one of the first Ubuntu bugs I ever reported). So I think the right solution here is to fix the themes to give scrollbar buttons square corners, and to fix the apps to stop wasting so much space.
