Is 'C:\My Documents' native?

No.

Wine/WineLib is more than just a GUI toolkit. Sure with WineLib you
might be able to hide the Windows drive letters but we don't have that
kind of code yet.

And yes, a Gnome/KDE user may not consider Motif, Xaw and especially
Athena applications to be native because they don't look like the
others. The same would be true of a Wine application... at least until
uxtheme is more advanced (uxtheme has the potential to make pretty nice
eye candy, btw).
