I am not sure it is a container, but I am referring
to the space reserved for drawing the slider and the
steppers in the scrollbar.

I was watching the results of changing these properties
with GVim and gnome-terminal, looking at their vertical
scrollbars. Somehow the width of their scrollbar
"containers" does not change with these properties.
Try them and you will see what I mean.i Any clues here?

With other applications like Gwget it works as
expected.

Thanks for the tips. I am already reading the API
(although I do not program GTK+ applications yet).
