+Summary: Type.GetType () fails with assembly qualified name.
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Type.GetType (string) does not work when passed an assembly qualified name.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+1. Compile this program and run it with MS and mono.
+using System;
+
+public class myClass
+{
+        public static void Main (string [] args)
+        {
+                Type type = typeof (Int32);
+                Console.WriteLine (type.AssemblyQualifiedName);
+                Console.WriteLine (Type.GetType (type.AssemblyQualifiedName));
+        }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+System.Int32,mscorlib
+...and have to press Ctrl-C to terminate.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
+PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
+System.Int32
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+
+Additional Information:
+Once this work, i'll commit the changes to make TypeDescriptor independent
+from System.Drawing.
