Perhaps the win32gui brush needs to be wrapped or unwrapped in some
way.  I'll have to check that out.  I don't know whether it is a raw
handle or a Python-wrapped handle object.  In any case, it should
produce the same results as what you have, except that you need to
remember to delete the one you created.

As I understand it, win32gui exposes the raw GDI APIs and deals with raw
GDI handles as plain integers.  win32ui is an attempt to wrap the raw
GDI interfaces with Pythonic wrapper objects.
