Hereby requesting a review of the FFE request.

The gtk support patch is up for review at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-scrollbar/+bug/740276 (see comment #2) along with an updated branch supporting whitelist, blacklist, and environment variable to control when the feature should be active.

A public testing campaign was run during the past weeks, with application compatibility results captured at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana/ScrollBars

The code for the feature and the gtk patch have been code reviewed per our standard development practices.

A very significant performance improvement was also made recently that suppresses slow downs noticed on particular apps (evolution for example). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-scrollbar/+bug/728418
