Tested with a fresh pull on the Mac and with the lates daily build on Win98.
- Go to any page with scrollbars (http://www.mozilla.org/ for instance)
- In the prefs, turn off the GFX scrollbars
- Reload the page
- Go back to the prefs
==> The tree on the left hand side of the dialog is missing.
- Open the "Manage Bookmarks" dialog
==> The tree is missing there too!

You have to restore the GFX scrollbars by manually editing prefs.js.

This is very annoying for me: I often turn the GFX scrollbars on and off for 
testing bugs related to fixed and absolutely positioned elements. GFX scrollbars 
usually generate problems but with native scrollbars I was fairly confident that 
the layout was correct. Now if native scrollbars start breaking things too, I no 
longer have a point of reference.

If native scrollbars are resurrected, they will be done in a different way that
the tree widget will support.  But for now, they're dead, and so is this bug.
