I have the same problem, adjusting the thickness of something drawn with the pen tool.
The suggested solution, however, doesn't work anymore in Inkscape 0.91 (r13725), as something drawn with the pen tool doesn't have a stroke, only fill.
Is this a bug or how is it done in .91?
Thank you!
PS, I'm on OSX/10.7.5
