Thanks.

I once planned to implement horizontal scroll bars on the top of a frame
too but lack of knowledge of the internals of the display engine impeded
me to do so properly (I failed to detect all uses of "0" indicating the
start of the text area, so display usually got mangled). Also, I
doubted that anyone would ever need scoll bars on top, so I eventually
gave up on that idea. The "None-horizontal" entry was the last remnant
of that failed attempt.

Fine. Please install.
