if you edit /etc/events.d/olpc-kbdshim and add a "-r" to the
olpc-kbdshim invocation line, you can try that behavior to see
how you like it.

edit, then:
    initctl stop olpc-kbdshim
    initctl start olpc-kbdshim

others should weigh in on this.  you'll remember that it was the
big question i raised last week.  i think i agree with you, but i
also think it's hard to put oneself in the shoes of a user who
has never used a scrollbar before.
