i was yhinking about t just yesterday
while a scrollbar takes a bit of vertical space, it improves things a bit.
i was tinking about just showing 2 3-4 pixels high hint, that on mouse over 
becomes a full sized scrollbar, a bit like the new flash player of youtube...

on the other hand, if we do as discussed at akademy, partially sliding away 
the window when a drag is done, having a full sized scrollbar will become not 
an issue anymore
