as havoc said already, in 1.3 the x/y thickness is per style, but i don't think
the rc parser got extended yet.

gimme a second here---

ok, the rc files can contain thicknesses now, with that, you are able
to specify default style attributes per widget class:

style "buttonthickness" {
  xthickness = 1
  ythickness = 1
}
class "GtkButton" style "buttonthickness"

now, we still need someone going through the code and fixing up widgets
that don't properly respect thickness settings, e.g. scrollbars, frame...

also gtkstyle.c prolly needs to be fixed in some places where it assumes
the thickness either is 2 or is at least 2.
