sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0

This is for 12.04, despite how it looks.

This is a screenshot of what the scrollbars look like after this command is run:

    I am running xfce4 on a fairly normal 12.04 upgraded-from-11.10 install.

    I really do not like the scroll bars. They are hard to find and click. How do I get normal, sane scrollbars back?
