Zones and polygons behave a bit differently when it comes to rounded 
corners.
For zones the minwidth setting controls the round radius, for polygons 
it is the line width.
This means polygons with rounded corners are always larger than drawn by 
the radius size (half line width). But zones are exactly as drawn 
(except around corners where they are rounded)

Additionally: zones have more editing support. (At least in 5.0.0 there 
is no way to add corners to polygons after it is first created. I assume 
this will be added at a later stage)
