Well, actually it's not - the number of lines from the top where you click next to is the number of lines the text will scroll, - down with the left mouse button and up with the right mouse button. Whereas with windows clicking above or below the scroll thumb scrolls the whole page.
Once you get that, it's more powerful - how often do you want to scroll only a few lines? And keep some part of what you see in the screen?
With MSWin, you really really need that scrollwheel, and the silly hard to click up and down arrows. With X you don't.
On a side note, I enjoyed this article, thanks Roblimo.
