[Gtk-sharp-list] Window Background Image

[Lee Turner]

I ended up just using Gtk Image widgets then placing everything on top of
that, it gave the desired effect if being a bit hacky.

I've since abandoned Gtk as for what is required for this project it's not
suitable... using WinForms now.


Hopefully I'll get another excuse to play with Gtk# again in the future
though :)
