We are running X11R3 on some machines and X11R4 (at fix-12) on others.
I have the following resource loaded into my RESOURCE_MANAGER:

*Scrollbar.Translations:        <Btn1Down>: StartScroll(Backward) \n\
 <Btn2Down>: StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <Btn3Down>: StartScroll(Forward) \n\
 <Btn2Motion>: MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <BtnUp>: NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()

(I want to reverse the functions of button 1 and button 3.)

This works perfectly under the X11R3 and X11R4 xterms; however, I
recently started trying to use the X11R4 xman, and found that the
scrollbars worked in reverse to what I wanted.  I eventually found
that I could work around it by specifying the names of the scrollbars
instead of the class:

xman*scrollbar.Translations:    <Btn1Down>: StartScroll(Backward) \n\
 <Btn2Down>: StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <Btn3Down>: StartScroll(Forward) \n\
 <Btn2Motion>: MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <BtnUp>: NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()
xman*vertical.Translations:     <Btn1Down>: StartScroll(Backward) \n\
 <Btn2Down>: StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <Btn3Down>: StartScroll(Forward) \n\
 <Btn2Motion>: MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
 <BtnUp>: NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()

But surely this should not be necessary.  Can anyone tell me what I am
doing wrong?  Thanks in advance.
