To wrap up this discussion:

I just committed a slightly simplified version of my patch, leaving
out icons, and reducing the
api to just gtk_scale_add_mark + gtk_scale_clear_marks. I think the
'ticks at regular intervals' that several people brought up are
something different, and require another api, like

gtk_scale_set_ticks (GtkScale            *scale,
                               GtkPositionType  position,
                               gdouble               major_tick_spacing,
                               gdouble               minor_tick_spacing)

which is what e.g. Qt and Swing have. But I'm not going to tackle that
right now.
