>> 1. how stable is mono with gtk#?

Stable enough to begin developing applications. Although both GTK# and
mono are still in heavy development (a good thing). Some interfaces and
such seem to change, but for the most part it is functional.=20

I've been able to compile under Linux/Mono and run the same binary under
Windows/.NET.

>> 3. is GTK# faster than SWING?

No contest. GTK# is way faster. For the most part, GTK# apps under linux
look and feel like native Gnome/GTK+ apps. Install monodoc and see. The
one thing I always hated about java/swing applications is that they look
and feel like Java applications. I think GTK# has the advantage of
calling the native gtk+ libraries. Where SWING is pure Java, I believe.=20
