Sorry, I wasn't very clear in that message to which you responded.

It is certainly a pretty minor problem. The reason it would be nice is
to be able to partially scroll such images is to view documents like
pdfs. The biggest part of the problem can already be solved by the tools
Emacs already has, since it is possible to reliably scroll pages larger
than a window. For small pages, scrolling one page at a time is not so
bad but more mine grained scrolling would be nice.
