 ** ERROR **: Type Gimp.ParamData which has an [ExplicitLayout] attribute
 cannot have two fields with the same offset.
 
 On win32 with .NET 2.0 I don't get this error.
 
 I will try to come up with a small example if needed.

+MS.NET allows this, but I'm not sure the resulting code works in any
+sensible way. When marshalling such a struct to native code, the
+runtime marshaller copies all three fields to the same position in the
+native struct, so that position will have the value of the last field,
+in this case d_int8. Or are you using this to marshal data in the
+native->managed direction ?
