Does anyone know whether it is a feature or a bug that setting
the line width seems to have no effect when drawing on an overlay
canvas?  That is, the thickness of any line does not change when
stroked, regardless of what value has been given to 'setlinewidth'.

I didn't find any mention of this fact in the NeWS 2.0 Programmer's
Guide, section 2.5, which deals with overlay canvases.  Is this
hardware dependent?  Would there be performance problems if the
line width were set rather large?

I am running NeWS 2.0 (X/NeWS) on a Sun 4/110.
