I think --with-toolkit-scroll-bars is the the default.  I know that I
had to explicitly override this default in the past, since I don't
like the stupid completely unergonomic GTK+ default scrollbar (you
can't switch forward and backward direction without moving the mouse,
you can't scroll through a complete file without needing to reseat the
mouse in between, you can't control the scroll amount).
