Thank you a lot for your answer. It seems to have made me come further
towards the goal, indeed. However, I still get an error when trying to
run the program on the Fedora system:

[thomas at thorn DizniLogsTest]$ export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/thomas/temp/DizniLogsTest/
[thomas at thorn DizniLogsTest]$ mono DizniLogs.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the type initializer for Gtk.Container --->

I put all .dll.config and glue files in the same dir as the .exe:

[thomas at thorn DizniLogsTest]$ ls
art-sharp.dll               gtk-dotnet.dll.config
art-sharp.dll.config        gtkhtml-sharp.dll
atk-sharp.dll               gtkhtml-sharp.dll.config
atk-sharp.dll.config        gtk-sharp.dll
DizniLogs.exe               gtk-sharp.dll.config
gconf-sharp.dll             libgdksharpglue-2.so
gconf-sharp.dll.config      libgladesharpglue-2.so
gconf-sharp-peditors.dll    libglibsharpglue-2.so
gdk-sharp.dll               libgnomesharpglue-2.so
gdk-sharp.dll.config        libgtksharpglue-2.so
glade-sharp.dll             libpangosharpglue-2.so
glade-sharp.dll.config      libvtesharpglue-2.so
glib-sharp.dll              pango-sharp.dll
glib-sharp.dll.config       pango-sharp.dll.config
gnome-sharp.dll             rsvg-sharp.dll
gnome-sharp.dll.config      rsvg-sharp.dll.config
gnome-vfs-sharp.dll         vte-sharp.dll
gnome-vfs-sharp.dll.config  vte-sharp.dll.config
gtk-dotnet.dll

It seems that gtksharpglue-2 cannot be found, although (if I'm not
mistaken) it is there in the dir. So perhaps another env. variable or
something similar is needed?

This is no problem for me.

Thanks,
