The behavior of GTK "sliders" has bothered me.  I'd expect to be able
to click anywhere on the slider to immediately set it's value to the
location I clicked, or click on the handle to drag it.  Unfortunately,
GTK doesn't behave this way, and instead moves the handle by small
increments each time you click.  Does anyone know if there is a way to
change this?  I love drag'n'drop, but I'd strongly prefer not to
/require/ it.
