Calling kernel space is a bad idea, if you can avoid it. If the function can be
handled in user mode, intercept it there and return to the calling app. Most NtGdi
functions have no choice but to be called due to compatibility and test cases.
So, if that is the only way to get the size than we are stuck with it, until
we have a better way of fixing it.

I haven't imp the DC_ATTR yet, this may fix some issues.
