Re: Gtk scrollbar: thumb too short

   But I would prefer that it would be easy to drag the thumb of the

   window.  IMVHO that's a more interesting position to scroll to.

You could change the `end-of-buffer' command so that you can set a
variable that causes it to stop on the last line instead of three
lines from the end, as it does now.  (I recommend using a variable
because I like the current behavior, which enables me to write several
extra lines on a buffer without the buffer text moving in the window.)

   The big problem is: how to make it *easy* to scroll end of buffer
   to the last window line ...

I bind the `end-of-buffer' command to the <end> key, so it is easy to
scroll to the position I like.  If you change the command, with a
variable, then it will be equally easy for you to scroll to the place
you want.
