Only use the slow scroll when the default has not been overridden. (888 bytes, patch)

Since firmware update 52, the "scroll rate" and "scroll pixels" settings no longer control ticker style scrolls, such as the RSS News Ticker or SDT plugins.  And, the current non-adjustable settings result in a scroll that's not at all smooth.

Thanks,

Steve

Our real goal is to support RSS mode using the native scrolling, but this is difficult and not something I'm working on right now.

This problem affects SB3s etc too.

In that post, I suggested that a less intrusive workaround (which is employed in the patch I submitted) would be to use the new slow controlled behaviour only if the user has not changed the default scroll rate.

If the user has changed the default scroll rate, use the customised values.

Using the user specified customised values in these cases results in less surprising device behaviour for users.
