Given that on windows (NT at least), GDI objects live in kernel and are
managed by win32k.sys, it is likely that win32k.sys handles this internally.
Windows 9x, I have no idea (perhaps user32.dll passes something special to
gdi32.dll to do what is needed, perhaps user32.dll messes with the gdi
handles directly)
