Stefan,
gStyle->SetLineWidth is not specific to Postscript.
I had already added a TPostScript::SetLineScale(Float_t scale=3)
in my development version.

I changed the previous default based on many comments from users
frustated
that the line width on Postscript was far too thin compared to the
screen.
In 2.23/09, I have set the default scale to be 3 instead of 4 in
2.23/08.
If you want a different scale, you can call SetLineScale in 2.23/09.

We expect to come with this version at the end of next week.
