I think the proper thing to do when deactivating a window is to hide its 
scroll bars and draw lines to outline the area they occupy.  

The appearance where the thumb is invisible but the arrow are drawn is 
supposed to indicate that the entire view is already shown on the screen, 
so that no scrolling is necessary.  (This is the scroll bar's inactive 
state.)  The scroll bar defproc will inactivate the scroll bar if its 
maximum is equal to its minimum.
