I think there was some reason it wasn't done as a fixed screen size,
although I seem to remember trying to change it to fixed size screen
coords myself. It is somewhat defeated when you zoom way in and the grip
is swallowed up by a huge line - but then I guess that isn't exactly
normal use.

Have a play with it yourself to see if you can find a behaviour which
suits you.

gschem/src/o_grips.c: ~line 1553, is a function:

int o_grips_size(GSCHEM_TOPLEVEL *w_current)

Which returns _half_ the desired grip size in pixels.
