i'd try to find another scheme. in my experience, and i'm fairly sure
i'm not the only one, having two scrollbars hardly ever works sensibly
in practice: you rarely want to move in just one dimension at once, so
you end up having to flit between them, typically losing context
whilst doing so. it's particularly bad for program text and web
pages. indeed, i'd say it's a good example of an attempt to appear to
solve a problem without actually doing so.
