Use Application.Run () for gtk_main.   What is the bug in the MCS
compiler?

Can you show us the original code?   gdk_draw_rectangle is a drawable
method in Gdk#

	drawable.DrawRectangle (...)

Look at the way colors are allocated in the sample for T:Gdk.Colormap in
Monodoc.

What is the issue?

The event handler receives an `object' argument, use this to know what
the source of the emission was.

Doing it by hand is fine.
