I don't use expanded or zoomed plots that much, but our tk device driver has zooming functionality, and it appears to keep the line widths the same. This seems the sensible choice from the legibility perspective so I think changing over the PLplot qt line widths to be constant for rescaled/zoomed plots is a good idea.
