+I've attached a more elaborate version of Ben's patch.  This'll give 
+the same error message as CSC above.
+
+I have checked the breakage in 'monodoc'.  AFAI can make out, the
+error message is correct.  Both Gtk.Setting and Monodoc.BigList derive
+from Glib.Object, but they're on different branches.
+
+Monodoc.BigList cannot access a protected member from Glib.Object on a
+class/object from a different branch.
+
+Here's the output with the new patch:
+
+monodoc/browser/list.cs(220) error CS1540: Cannot access protected
+member `GLib.Object.GetProperty' via a qualifier of type
+`Gtk.Settings'; the qualifier must be of type `Monodoc.BigList' (or
+derived from it)
+
+The only option seems to be making Glib.Object.GetProperty a public
+method.
