Well. Question is _why_ should it use win32? _Why_ not win32k? Of couse, os2ss (and any other ss) can (and must) use common window manager and messages. But 
why make it depended on win32? I don't like this aproach. I consider usage of win32k graphics is ok, but usage of win32 graphics and highlevel objects is bad. I don't like 
to see win32-looks windows on my desktop. I prefer to see os2-style windows on my desktop.
