What Emacs does is call

  (scroll-up +/-1)

for each input event that comes from the scroll bar's "steppers".  So
the only way I can explain why you see scrolling of more than 1 line
is that the GTK scroll bar sends more than one event.  Or maybe it
doesn't send the 'up and 'down parts in the event for some reason.
Stepping with Edebug through scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll should show
what's going on there.
