One point which confuse me still, is why line width of many symbols
shipped with gEDA is 0. Is that really a good solution? When zooming in,
green lines stays very thin, while pins become thicker. For printout
there seems to be a special line width "patch"?

I do understand that zero line width can be useful, i.e. to determine
the smallest possible width of an output device. And zero width will
remain still thin when zoomed in. But I do not understand why this is
really useful for symbol graphics.

For Cairo very this lines vanish, so additional consideration is needed
when drawing symbols...
