Cimi:
That's not an issue, the series (major-minor number) is not going to be bumped for that cycle, so the GTK+ patch doesn't need to be updated for each release in the 0.1 series.
Sébastien:
From a technical point of view, I think that the clean way, which makes it potentially acceptable upstream, is to add that new widget directly inside GTK+ and add new symbols in GtkScrolledWindow to choose the scrollbar type to be used. But we've done that using a dynamically loaded module for this cycle because it reduces the GTK+ library size making it easier to fit on the CD, and it simplifies updating the ayatana-scrollbar library without implying a GTK+ update. Depending on the feedback, it will be easy to convert it to the clean way for Natty+1.
I'll update the patch adding the ubuntu prefix.
