(You mean the IMAGE moves...)
I guess it depends on what you expect.  I've used a variety of window
systems and some of them have their scroll arrows doing the opposite
of others.  SunView had 2-way arrows at both ends of the scroll bar,
and which way you scrolled depended on which mouse button you clicked.
I personally prefer the "mux" scheme (also used in "sam" and "myx"),
which doesn't use arrows at all, but that requires a 3-button mouse
and the Macintosh is therefore hopelessly SOL.
