but this would be inconsistent with every other QScrollView then, no? 
QScrollView by default uses Control for fast-scrolling, QTextEdit 
unfortunately overrides that (re-overridden in KTextEdit and KTextBrowser).

So unless you persuade the Trolls to change QScrollView, we wouldn't gain any 
constistency (think about any QListView, , QListBox, QIconView, ...).
