I installed emacs24-lucid via apt-get.
Nicer looking than the previous configuration, but no luck with the
tool bar, so far....
Here is versioning info from 'help
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
bars) of 2014-03-07 on lamiak, modified by Debian
And system config
system-configuration-options
" '--build' 'x86_64-linux-gnu' '--build' 'x86_64-linux-gnu'

;;;;;
Still can't make 'customize work, I'm currently reading info as per
your instruction, but will take some time to grok it all...
Actually in the lucid version, the scrollbar widget is more legible
and I wouldn't necessarily need to change the color, but I'm set on
edifying myself further. :)
Thanks for the reply and the tips.
