Widget rendering in GNUstep

[Chris Meredith]

Greetings.

I'm wondering how controls are rendered using GNUstep under Win32 as,  
due to the fact that I have no eyesight, I use adaptive technology to  
read the screen.  If standard Windows controls--or, at the very  
least, native Win32 APIs are used to draw the controls, I can make  
them work.  If, on the other hand, they're drawn using some third  
party API (something X11ish), this may create a problem or five.  As  
a reference point, the MSYS shell does not work unless I run it as a  
console application rather than through ... XRVT, I think it is?.

Failing any breakthroughs involving Win32, there is adaptive  
technology out there that allows one to "hear" the output of any  
applications run from the GNOME environment.  Would that be usable?

All else failing, Cocoa and its  standard suite of controls talk  
nicely.  Are there any stumbling blocks making code written for Cocoa  
run on GNUstep, given the real possibility of not having the ability  
to have a GNUstep test environment?
