I don't blame anybody on this, but it is as it is, and the fact that it 
"never was the goal" does not mean that it does not make sense for 
certain applications.

You do know that I started to take on the task and would have continued 
creating such a Widget Type, but stopped, as the company I work for 
decided that the product design asking for this should not be started in 
the near future.

Now the CustomDrawn Widget Type seems to be done in a way that a rather 
low level hook for cutting off the local GUI binding is provided and 
doing an "active" No-GUI" (or a remote-GUI) variant should be possible 
without huge effort and without inappropriate copying large part of the 
Code from some other Widget Type.

Maybe in fact I finally might be able to do this as a hobby project.
