How to get "normal" scrollbars in Ubuntu Unity

I hate the little scrollbar in Ubuntu because on a laptop, it's harder to get precise control of the cursor to hit the few-pixel-width area (the orange bit in the first image below).

To get "normal" scrollbars, type this command:
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal



Should you want to get the Ubuntu-style scrollbar back, reset the parameter:
gsettings reset com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode
