I'd probably use stacked shapes to do it, ie draw the fill, then add a linked offset that sits below it in the tree that does the 'stroke' Any changes to the fill shape will get automatically put into the stroke.

Hi again,

I found the solution myself:

Instead of using th 'brush stroke' tool, now
I've been unsing the bezier tool instead
with a comparably broad stroke value (6).
After that, I disabled 'fill color', and then set
the stroke width back to '1'.

That basically does it. Now I only have to get rid
of the strokes at both ends, which only seems to
work with brush strokes. Maybe I can will have to
convert the bezier first, in order to be able to delete
the strokes at the end.
