I do; my gnu/linux installation has gdi libraries.
Inkscape and OpenOffice use them (OK, not for widget drawing AFAIK, but...)

GDI is what the winAPI uses. At least the win32 API does, maybe the
win64 API doesn't use GDI...?? Anyone know? Not that it matters, we
shouldn't name the widget set after the drawing libraries used by the
widgets we are wrapping.
I go for win or mswin, or wingdi / gdiwin if we have to.
