Thanks.  This is because the PGTK port assumes toolkit scroll bars are
always available, but compiling without them causes the wrong code to be
enabled in keyboard.c, which then aborts upon "unexpected" scroll bar
events.

I will update the configure script to disallow this specific
configuration, but in the meantime, please tell the Gentoo developers to
fix their build script.

Please tell them to also turn PGTK off by default, people shouldn't be
using it on X.
