Thank you. I found that online, after I posted, *but* it did *not* have
the ,scrollbar. It also had 1 instead of true, so I changed that, just on
general principles, and it works. Btw, what I found online also had
-GtkRange-slider-width: 15;
-GtkRange-stepper-size: 15;

Thanks for that one, Bill. It bothers me as well. Interestingly enough, I
have eight terminals up - they're urxvt, which I prefer, and their
scrollbars and buttons never changed.
