The above are just fine.  The problem is on the other end: the
set-window-scroll-bars function doesn't mention that switching buffers
in the window for which that function was called will reinstate the
scroll bar.  (It also doesn't say what is the meaning of
VERTICAL-TYPE's nil value.)  And neither does the manual.
