Actually, similar style glitches exist in slider without me changing anything.

So I have a problem: Nokia's GTK styles are buggy.  I have identified several major style bugs in various 
widgets where a mistake was made by the designer, typically a mismatch between parameters X and Y.  
I can change X to match Y in the style string and this fixes things nicely and makes things look better.  
But if I report these bugs, from your reply here I strongly suspect you will eventually modify *Y* to 
match *X*, which will make things look worse.  So unreported bugs they shall remain. 

As to the style being discussed *here*:  Nokia's standard sizes for their sliders and scroll bars are far 
too thin.  They should be at twice as wide as they are presently, and hittable by the finger as well as the 
stylus.  It's not nice to learn that not only are they not that way by default, but Nokia's style developers 
have seen fit to make _certain_ they _cannot_ be that way in any application.
