So I think the best solution now is let the

the marks in a blank window beside the sliders.
The key is to pay attention to the half-way point of the
thumb track size,
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.
