So, is there any way to make scrollbars to consistently work with the
right edge?  Is there a theme change I can do?  Or window manage tweak?

Is there agreement that right-edge access to the maximized windows'
scrollbars is best?  Is there agreement that rounded ends to the
scrollbar decorations is less of a priority than the Fitts rule
adherence?  (Personally, I believe the right-edge behavior more
important than scrollbar themes/decorations.)

Thanks!

Note, on Xubuntu 11.10, using greybird theme and "Totem" style, I
identified different levels of Fitts rule compliance for a few selected
applications:

Best: On right edge, scrollbar handle can be dragged with primary mouse button 
or middle button anywhere, arrow buttons clickable, zones above/below handle 
activate PageUp/PageDown.
 - Chromium browser 17.0.963.79 (note, probably uses non-standard scrollbars)

Almost there: On right edge, PageUp and PageDown come from primary mouse button 
down, handle drag comes from middle button anywhere.
 - Gedit 3.2.3
 - Xfce Terminal Emulator 0.4.8
 - Gnumeric Spreadsheet 1.10.17

Not at all:
 - Leafpad 0.8.17
 - Firefox 11.0
 - abiword 2.8.6
 - Thunar 1.2.3
 - Evince Document Viewer 3.2.1
 - LibreOffice Writer 3.4.4 OOO340m1
