There is a way, but apparently not wildly known. If you have the Dia Phyton
plug-in available there will be a menu entry (for 0.95.x only in the
contect menu, see bug #171397), "Dialog/Dia Group Properties".

Just change one line to the desired width, than select all lines and
use the above menu entry. The dialog shows all shared properties of
the selected objects.

check box. Note: this is just a prototype to overcome the limitations
described with the group-work-around.
