Have you seen the MedSphere release of GTK# 2.10 for Windows?

The following are the resources I consult for GTK# development.
High-level overview:
    http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp
GTK# tutorials and guides:
    http://www.mono-project.com/Category:GtkSharp
Official docs:
    http://www.go-mono.com/docs/monodoc.ashx?tlink=root:/classlib-gnome

Also, the GTK+ docs can be helpful even if they are more difficult to
interpret:     http://gtk.org/api/ and http://gtk.org/tutorial/

On Linux you could of course use MonoDevelop with its fantastic GTK# designer.

There has been some work on it, but it's not a priority at all as
there are plenty of .NET IDEs for Win32. Anyhow, if GTK# is that
unstable on your machine it wouldn't be much good.

However, I'm sure GTK# is not generally this unstable on Windows.
Something must be up with your installation. Try a complete purge of
GTK# and GTK+, then try the MedSphere GTK# installer.

C++/CLI won't run on Mono.
