I think the consensus is that all CLIM 'windows' (i.e. panes that are in
fact clim-stream-pane types) DO (or at least, should) accept the 
:scroll-bars
keyword in 'define-application-frame' and will default this to some 
sensible
value (dependent of pane type) if not provided.

This *should* mean that no magic is required; just use an :interactor or
:application (or :command-menu, :title, or :pointer-documentation) pane 
and
scrolling should 'just happen' (well - some of these types have a 
default
:scroll-bars of nil and so won't scroll out of the box).

That's my current understanding of the spec. Whether I'm right or not is
a different question ;-)
