Thanks for answering, John.

Just a few more observations.  I am not sure that Gmail is doing any
scrolling.  If I go to some random web page in Conkeror (e.g. cnn.com) and
hit C-q 'space' the page scrolls down for me by slightly less than a full
screen (as with Gmail).  Not sure if this is meaningful but I thought I
would pass it on.  C-q 'space' scrolls for me on every web page (including
the Conkeror startup page chrome://conkeror-help/content/help.html).
