Why not give it a server-side and have an api which allows the developer
to post a different look for the scrollbar if they want? (or is this not a
slider?) As far as the input handling, having the same input handling
across the platform is a good thing (tm).

Also, why isn't app_server split into two parts (one which manages apps
and stuff, and one which actually does the output to the screen?)  Seems
like a better division of labor to me.
