I compiled and ran the fpGUI uidesigner program.  The graphics didn't 
work right.  The combobox dropdown list appeared somewhere else on the 
screen.  The black dots around controls when you selected them didn't 
appear.  I didn't do a lot of testing but apparently the GDI layer isn't 
quite done.  I would guess that if you ran a Delphi or Lazarus program 
that used Win32 widgets they would work better.
