needed to
have Graphics objects initialized from GDI specific data structures (HDC and
HWND)
to perform painting and in the case of owner-drawn elements we do not really
control
neither surface on which we are painting nor the moment when painting is
started/finished.
Some other SysDrawing objects (like Bitmap,Image, Font, Region) are also
GDI depended from my point of view.

So, IMO, the code for System.Drawing have to be compatible with
Sys.Win.Forms
and may be we need to separate SysDrawing like SFW is separated now ?
