Yes it seems to be a simple case of the main developers just not having
the 
time to answer many questions and there just aren't enough other 
developers to handle tasks like documentation and user support.

Yup, lots of the documentation either doesn't exist, is incomplete, or
just 
plain doesn't work.  Thats just a part of working on a project that is 
essentially in its infancy.  The documentation linked to on the mono 
website is very bad (no offence the the authors, I intend to help out
with 
that once I have some time).  Checkout the monodoc and gtk-sharp modules

from cvs.  The documentation which is there is quite helpful.

Good luck.  I started programming with mono and GTK# a month ago and am 
going through the same thing but it gets easier all the time.

The GC runs in a different thread, and changes to the gui have to come
from a single thread.

That's probably left over from an earlier implementation.

I committed a different fix that keeps all enum matching in the one
branch.  Thanks for the patch.

Subject: [Gtk-sharp-list] Monodoc 0.7 has been released.

Hello everyone!

    MonoDoc 0.7 has been released.  This release contains tons of
improvements, and tons of new documentation.

* What is new

	* Web-based edition: Monodoc now runs as a GUI client and 
	  also as a web service provider (you can see it live in
	  www.go-mono.com/docs/index.html

	  It uses a beautiful Javascript based tree to dynamically load
	  the new tree contents.   A *beautiful* hack from Piers Haken. 

	* C# spec is now part of the documentation 

	* All errors generated by MCS are included with samples
	  so you can find out what errors mean.

	* Many GUI improvements. 

* Improvements

	* Class library rendering can now group methods with the
	  same name (and a nice page for overloads is also generated).

	* Prettier documentation rendering for class libraries.

	* Keyboard navigation 

	* Window for multi-matches provides more contextual information.

	* Incremental searching updates multi-matches on the flight.

* Availability:

	http://www.go-mono.com/archive/monodoc-0.7.tar.gz

	Requires Gtk# 0.11 and Mono 0.28

* Contributors

        This release would not have been possible without the help of
        everyone who contributed to the effort, here is a list of coders
        and documentors that made this possible:

        Alejandro Sanchez, Alp Toker, Ben Maurer, Duncan Mak, Gonzalo
        Paniagua, Hector Gomez, Johannes Roith, John Luke, Jonathan
        Pryor, Joshua Tauberer, Martin Baulig, Martin Willemoes, Miguel
        de Icaza and Piers Haken.
