It's very easy to make RC file configurable at this point,
and we should definitely do that.

The concern I have about making it 0 is that because of
the scrollbar trough and the bevel on the scrolled window,
the effect you get is not a seemless merging but a sharp
ridge.

In GTK+-1.2 we reduced the sizeof this spacing from 5 to 2
but stopped short of zero for this reason. (With the
thinner bevels in the new default, making it 0 is less
objectionable, but still looks a little odd to me.)
