I think you are missing something. Use the 'scrolling' macro in your
layout, for example:

(define-application-frame ...
  ...
  (:layouts
    (default
      (scrolling () my-pane)))) ;; Is that the sort of macrology
you're looking for?

As I noted earlier, the :scroll-bars may also work, but only for
stream panes (interactors, application-panes, etc), not necessarily
arbitrary panes (buttons, layout panes, etc), and must require some
magic support in define-application-frame that the spec doesn't appear
to mention. I haven't looked for where this magic must exist in
McCLIM, so I don't know exactly what happens.
