IIUC in XmCR_DRAG we set PORTION to 'cs->value', in xg_scroll_callback
we set PORTION to 'position' and in xaw_scroll_callback we explicitly
pass 'position' as PORTION argument.  So in all three cases we pass a
position.  And IIUC we pass zero for PORTION and WHOLE iff when we end
scrolling (when the user releases the slider).

I didn't look into jump scroll so far.  But what you say here indicates
that jump scroll also passes a position via the PORTION argument.

Yes (in my experience Gtk+ can handle WHOLE directly as is).

But the values passed to x_send_scroll_bar_event are in characters too
(and the value of WHOLE is supposed to be the same as when setting the
thumb).  Or am I missing something?
