It is referencing the "local" build of Mono.Cairo in gtk-sharp, which
produces a 2.0 assembly, and a 1.0 policy assembly.  The 2.0 assembly is
built with csc 1.1 though, so the versioning is a little strange
compared to what they mean on a mono stack.

The problem is that we are shipping the mono version of Mono.Cairo in
the installer but we are building gtk-sharp against its local build of
Mono.Cairo.  For the .net standalone installer, we need to ship the
gtk-sharp local version of the assembly.  

Thanks for opening the bug report.  I'll see if I can get some updated
installers packaged today.
