Both these dialogs are created from the same property descriptions. The 
defaults dialog does not offer the "toolbox properties", i.e. foreground 
and background color, line style and line width as well as arrow heads. 
Otherwise the special controls on the toolbox would become useless.

Yes, the initial "border_width" is indeed taken from the line width control 
in the toolbox. But I did not notice yet it is double-clickable as well ;-)
I've always choosen my defaults from the predefined 0 .. 0.2 with a single 
click on one of the lines.
