I noticed that in the text of your entry at the Forge you say:

"...the application runs without problems on Linux with
Mono 1.0 and gtk# 1.0..."

So just in case this can help you, It may help to have your users try 
this new installation for Mono/Gtk# on Win32:
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1395&release_id=1905#selected

I am not claiming that this is an installer that works with the .NET 
Framework GAC.  However it may be useful to help diagnose where the 
problem is.  That installer should be closer to a working configuration 
Mono 1.0/Gtk# 1.0 in Linux.  It also gives you the chance to test 
without it conflicting with the existing environment since it DOES NOT 
use the MS GAC, rather its on Mono 1.0 GAC and mcs, etc.

Finally, the Gtk# libraries being used in the installer I am 
recommending above, came from the installer that Cory Aitchison, and 
Erik Dasque have made available at the Forge.
