The problem with that is that you're going to need a scrollbar for each 
pane, so you're heading towards a situation where you either have to 
have [multiple panes]|[single shared gutter]|[multiple scroll bars] or a 
non-standard [multiple panes]|[multiple scroll bars]|[single shared 
gutter] i.e. the scroll bar is no longer at the extreme right of the 
window where expected.
