Actually it was a mistake in my Gtk# installation.
Someday, for an older version of Gtk#, I used ./configure --prefix=/usr 
and forgot about it. So I was using an old version where this 
constructor didn't exist and that's why mcs was allways complaining 
about a non-existing constructor....

Thanks for the explanation.

I saw that ;-)
Is not important for me now, but it will be in a next future. Is someone 
allready working on this? Should it be soon fixed?

Thanks for your answer and your great work,
