 Would you be so kind and not ignore my annotations on this bug? I 
 already wrote it's cairo related. You compiled. You ran. You 
 obviously had the libraries needed. The underlying graphics lib 
 doesn't deal very well with server that have no 32bit pixmaps.

+Investigating the 32 bit pixmap problem, I have found that I can run
+an .exe on Solaris bypassing the x_putimage errors by using CYGWIN to
+access the server from another machine.  The CYGWIN program is capable
+of 32 bit planes while the solaris servers direct display could not. 
+(Exceed has an 8 bit plane and cannot run it either).  Unless a
+solaris machine could come with a special higher end graphics card(not
+sure if this is possible), mono windows forms will not display on
+solaris unless going through CYGWIN.  I guess we have a few options,
+either to fix the the problems running on a 24 bit plane, find a
+graphics card for solaris capable of 32 bit plane, OR using CYGWIN
+from another box.  Thank you for your time and suggestions!  They have
+been very helpful in figuring out a way around it.  If anyone figures
+out the 24 bit plane problem before we do, please post it.  Thanks
