Well, since get_scrollbar_info() is a remote method, so it's not so fast, I 
don't see the need to call it repeatedly. For example, in case of Tracker, you 
would have at least 2 calls to get_scrollbar_info every time a window is 
created (very often, then), in case you call it in the constructor, against 
just one call at the tracker startup, if you call it in _init_interface_kit().
