I've downloaded Inkscape for 0.47-pre-4 and run it on Windows XP 32 bit. The newest feature I like so much is Stroke Shape for pencil tool which include the Ellipse shape. However, the default width of the shape is 1.00 unit which is equivalent to 10px. Since I want it to be 2px, I have to manually adjust it through Path Effect Editor. Unfortunately, I cannot find the way to make this path effect permanent to upcoming pencil. So, I've to adust the width of every single path and this is so annoying

.
Are the any tips how to make the path effect permanent whenever I start to use pencil tool

?
