Will dig around in the guts see if I can figure out why. maybe baf knows.

Default kindle gtkrc file, which can be overridden using env variable (GTK2_RC_FILES), defines some styles for GtkScrollbar and GtkScrolledWindow:

style "kindle-scrollbar"
{
    GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper  = 0
    GtkScrollbar::has-forward-stepper   = 0
    GtkScrollbar::slider-width          = 16
    GtkScrollbar::trough-border         = 0

…

style "kindle-scrolled-window"
{
    GtkScrolledWindow::scrollbar-spacing = 2
}

…

class "GtkScrollbar" style "kindle-scrollbar"
class "GtkScrolledWindow" style "kindle-scrolled-window"

I remember I was able to change the look of scrollbars by modifying these styles. Did you try it?

EDIT:
I gave it a try.

[root@kindle root]# cat gtkrc
style "osmo-scrollbar"
{
       GtkScrollbar::slider-width          = 60
}
class "Gtk*Scrollbar" style "osmo-scrollbar"
[root@kindle root]# GTK2_RC_FILES=gtkrc ./osmo

It resizes scrollbars, but I am not sure it is a good solution. Now I remember I wanted to use it with skipstone, but finally decided it looks bad and takes too much space
