[Gtk-sharp-list] GtkDotNet and dll.config file help

[Hywel Thomas]

I installed Gtk# (I assume) with Monodevelop - it's a clean SUSE 11.1 
installation, with MD installed via YAST, and in the project (which was 
imported from the working Windows version of the Gtk# code) I've just 
checked the appropriate references for gtk-sharp, gdk-sharp, gtk-dotnet, 
etc (in fact, MD did this for me when importing the project).  It now 
works, but I've had to put in a gdk-sharp.dll.config file into my bin 
directory (NOT a gtk-dotnet.dll.config).  It seems odd, because I can 
run the Cairo DrawingSample program (which also uses Gtk.DotNet) without 
any of this, as suggested in your last comment re GAC'd Gtk# dlls.  I'm 
confused!  The full error report (if it gives any more clues) was:-

Marshaling enter_notify_event signal
Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
   Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException 
to handle the exception.
