Just switched to Ubuntu 11.04, using Ubuntu-Classic and taskbar on bottom side.
I confirm that this bug is very annoying!
Actually, there could be 2 bugfixes:
  1) shift scrollbar towards the window when close to taskbar, as it is when close to screen edge.
  2) display overlay scrollbar as now, but on a layer above the taskbar.

Title:
  Overlay scrollbar hidden underneath bottom panel in Ubuntu Classic
  mode

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  One of the changes to Ubuntu in both the Classic and Unity modes is
  the replacement of the scrollbars in most GNOME applications with
  scroll icons that only appear when the mouse is hovered over the
  right/bottom of the window. However, one problem I've noticed with
  Evince is that when maximised in the GNOME Classic mode, the scroll
  icon for left/right scrolling appears below the window, which ends up
  underneath the bottom panel, making left/right scrolling next to
  impossible. The scroll icon should appear above the bottom of the
  window like in the Unity mode.

  Hope this makes sense. This screenshot might explain the issue (you
  can just about make out the scroll icon below the window hidden by the
  panel.
