Yes, I've used RISC OS.  I sent a (long) email to this list a few
weeks back suggesting new behaviour that includes the Button 3
scrollbar dragging you mention above.  Also, Button 3 selection of
pop-up menu items that left the menu popped-up.  You should find it
in the list archives.

I didn't get any response.  I don't know if this list is the correct
place to discuss GTK UI policy;  who defines it?
