Although slider thumb track size is known, extra unknown space 
 above and below the slider trough may make our custom marker 
 positions not precisely accurate.

However, if we're lucky, we may be able to keep page snaps by 
 intercepting keyboard page up/dn and forcing the sliders to their 
 very own page stops. 

I hope there's a way to intercept the KB. 
Some toolkits let you give the application or window first crack
 at KB events before passing them on. 
Would be a big turnaround in this game. 

If finished, would be more or less identical to what Niels originally 
 wanted and we have now, but better, no?

Seems more plausible than attempting to intercept mouse
 movement with the current markers and trying to force the
 slider to not snap.
 
PS: If you look in gtk_range there are some internal 
 'slider inertia stops' functions, unfortunately they appear to affect 
 all the marks, too.
