No, shapes are basically little drawings with particular stroke widths. 
Since nobody's had the time to implement generic scaling in Dia, there's
no way to really change the widths from inside Dia.  We could conceivably
add something similar to what we can do for colors which have "foreground"
and "background" colors defined as taken from the toolbox, but my time
right now is strictly limited to the new group system and (another attempt
at) better font scaling.

That is Hans' area, I don't claim to understand the Python parts.  Hans?
