Because the compiler doesn't accept this.

This doesn't compile and moreover, I cannot use thin_line in GuiPainter.h:
D:\LyXSVN\lyx-devel\src\frontends/Painter.h(157) : error C2864: 'lyx::frontend::Painter::thin_line'
: only static const integral data members can be initialized within a class
d:\lyxsvn\lyx-devel\src\frontends\qt4\GuiPainter.h(45) : error C2248:
'lyx::frontend::Painter::thin_line' : cannot access private member declared in class
'lyx::frontend::Painter'
