#24 Option to only show one scrollbar

[olejorgenb]

The scrollbars take a significant amount of horisontal space with multiple files compared. Since scrolling is synced there's really no reason to have scrollbars in each editor.

IIRC it's kind of pain to do this in gtk with the standard widgets though :(

This is strongly needed, the scrollbars can take up half the space with many panes opened, and there seems to be no reason to ever have more than one.
If it is a complex issue as olejorgenb says, this might be a quick but still effective solution: remove all the vertical scrollbars (I guess it is possible to only remove them, and not the horizontal ones), and leave the summary box as the only way to scroll with the mouse.
As the individual scrollbars seem to have no use ever at the moment you probably could do it for everybody, without worring about a togglable option.

I agree with GabF, with one exception: when diffing very long files, the summary box cannot be used for scrolling because the area showing the current screen extent becomes so thin that it is invisible (and thus cannot be grabbed and moved). In that case, a scrollbar would still be needed.
