QStyle::SH_ScrollView_FrameOnlyAroundContents is what you are looking 
for. It basically states that the scrollbar should be outside the 
content as it is in motif. In Qt pre 4.5, I believe the actual size used 
to be 2 * (the scrollarea framewidth). In 4.5 we have also added 
QStyle::PM_ScrollView_ScrollBarSpacing to allow styles such as QGtkStyle 
to control this distance precisely.
