DllMaps: http://www.mono-project.com/Config_DllMap (a Mono-only feature)

The dllmap should be in the config file for the thing it's doing
mapping for, e.g. the DllMap for GtkDotNet.dll should in a config file
called GtkDotNet.dll.config.

However, this is all just background. You should not have to write
dllmaps for the GTK# dlls -- they are included and installed when you
install GTK#, i.e. the GAC'd GTK# dlls are all already mapped. Your
issue most likely indicates a broken GTK# installation. How did you
install it?
