There is a modeline and then you have scrollbar. It seems that the horizontal scroll bar should be above the mode line. It was cluttring when you use the mini-buffer. I don't understand that part; you said how you felt about the behavior, but not what the specific behavior you saw. Could we use the modeline as a scrollbar instead of coming up with a real horizontal scroll bar? That is a bizarre idea, worth thinking about. We could put arrows into the mode line that could be used for scrolling. That would be fairly easy, I think. However, it can't be an actual scroll bar, since there is no room to display a slider.
