Subject: Better enabling of scrollbars
X-Git-Url: https://git.earman.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0ed6a79ae28059fa2b58d92d8427f99693db572;p=emacsinit.git

Better enabling of scrollbars

Start off with no scrollbar, since I was getting erroneous scrollbars on the
scratch buffer.  Change when it re-evaluates for scrollbars, so I don't have
to run a command in a buffer for it to be triggered.
