I am still trying to figure out what is the problem with the Gtk# 
installation and configuration for Win32 and the MS GAC.  However, tell 
your people to run one more test.
After having installed the combined installer above, go to the start 
menu and select the Mono 1.0 Command Prompt.
Then at the console type:

mono <pathtoyourapplication\yourapplication.exe>

I will like to know if your Visual Studio .NET generated application 
that use Gtk# will run correctly with the Mono runtime.  The upshot is 
that I conducted some test of my own and so far I experience the same 
exceptions you are having.  However,  I open a Mono Command  Prompt and  
pass my fully qualified executable path as the parameter to mono, it 
runs it without major problems.  The only artifact would be a mapping 
warning that reads:

Compat mode: the request from 
C:\mono\Mono-1.0\lib\mono\gac\glib-sharp\1.0.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f\glib-sharp.dll 
to load System was remapped (http://www.go-mono.com/remap.html)

It would be greatly appreciated to get feedback from the test I describe 
above, to help me and others in the community troubleshoot the problem.
