Line/fill/etc. attributes can be set inside TPad, but not only where:
many of them are set by base sub-objects of 2d primitives
(2d primitives usually inherit TAttLine or TAttFill etc.).  And these sub-objects
call gVirtualX->SetLineWidth ... etc. So, if I save some attributes in my painter,
it will be mess - at any moment I do not know, where to take line attribute - from
gVirtualX or from my own member. So! All attributed, _ALL_ go to/from gVirtualX.
