IMHO it's more "quick" to scroll the linux way (maybe because I was used
to that).
I think it's basically a matter of taste rather than a tecnical issue.
Anyway I will implement the look and feel preferred by the majority of
the community.

I think we have basically three way to do it:
- Shift-PgUp/Down  (in this case we could implement auto-repeat if keys
are kept pressed) 
- Ctrl-Alt-PgUp/Down (slightly cleaner code than the above, no
autorepeat)
- Screen Lock a la FreeBSD 

I'll be happy to count the votes that you send me :)
