Well, the day we do real 'direct graphic access' in Wine is the day we will
need a clipper... As we only draw to windows and that the clipping is
already done by X for us, the clipper is mostly stubs and does not need
anything more than that.

The DDraw code is full of FIXMEs that could be changed into TRACEs. So if
the application works, no need to actually check the FIXMEs :-)
