[Gtk-sharp-list] Mono / GTK# program crashing

[Ian Finlayson]

Hello,

Sorry, I thought that I had removed this message from the list approval process.
I actually fixed this problem by starting from scratch with the GUI
designer.  I had
been adding and removing a lot of components, and it got confused at some point.

Thanks for taking the tome to respond though!
