Install the xaw95 widget set. You should have it with your favorite
distribution.
After that, simply use something like:
LD_PRELOAD="[path to the installed libxaw95*.so file] xterm"
(on RedHat, you'll find it somewhere in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw95.so or
something similar)
That should turn the Xt widgets into Windows-style widgets. The
scrollbar widget
should work as you'd expect it in Windows, or GTK+.
