You are right, the scrollbar should by default be placed on the right when emacs is
compiled with motif/lesstif support, because it is where it is usually placed with
motif apps.

Furthermore, I have noticed that
Emacs.*.scrollBarPlacement: BOTTOM_RIGHT
in ~/.Xdefaults has no effect and can't be used to correct this problem.

Is anybody working on that ?

Please note that M-x customize-variable RET scroll-bar-mode RET
allows you to change this.  I guess it's more a matter of taste which
side is correct, rather than a bug.
