Comment 17 for bug 630639

I guess my question is: at what point is gdi32.dll called, or where is it called from (from Inkscape or from cairo or from gtk)? I assume that it is inevitable that it must be called (on Windows).
     In order to use gdi32.dll the first call that is essential is a call to CreatePen and CreatePen by definition always creates a cosmetic pen.
