There is a related example in the manpage (for xterm), e.g.,

http://invisible-island.net/xterm/manpage/xterm.html

Some people prefer using the left pointer button for dragging the 
scrollbar thumb. That can be setup by altering the translations resource, 
e.g.,
*VT100.scrollbar.translations:#override \n\
      <Btn5Down>:StartScroll(Forward) \n\
      <Btn1Down>:StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
      <Btn4Down>:StartScroll(Backward) \n\
      <Btn1Motion>:MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
      <BtnUp>:  NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()
