Huh?!

The scrollbars were broken in the ubiquity-only mode vs
desktop-session, which I have now fixed. After I did that fix I've
asked to retest for this bug, because the available screenshots of the
bug were: from ubiquity-only mode & ubuntu flavour only.

The reason they were broken is because they moved from being an
automatic LD_PRELOAD to become a proper gtk module and hence required
changes to ubiquity-dm.

I didn't want to spell out this over here, because we never found out
the root cause for this bug, hence the speculation that changes in the
scrollbars were causing this.
