Bug Description
1) Open a document and go with the mouse over a scrollbar arrow
2) Press the mouse button and keep it pressed
3) Wait
Expected behavior:
4) The document scrolls continuously
Current behavior:
4) The document don't scroll, until you release the mouse button.
To fix this, I'd suggest to add a timeout that starts when pressing that checks the mouse position; if after the mouse-down event the pointer is not moved, then we should send multiple scroll events to the document.

I've done some work on this, and my branch lp:~3v1n0/ayatana-scrollbar/thumb-pressing-support now does what I've explained above.
It's working quite well, but I think it would need some tuning since to save time and to avoid to introduce too many bits, actually I'm just doing repeated page_up/down, while maybe it would be better to write some new code to perform this kind of scrolling.
