 print "TEXT CHANGED to" (text changed to an empty string, basically),
 but nothing is printed in Mono.
 
 Observe that "TEXT CHANGED to" is printed to the console in .Net when
 the "Clear" button is clicked, thus showing that TextChanged event is
 fired correctly.

+The problem is that TextBoxBase.Text property invokes the base
+implementation (Control.Text), and the event isn't fired if the
+previous value and the current one are the same. But Control.Text
+doesn't contains the text currently in the graphical text box until
+TextBoxBase.Text setter is called for the first time, and thus it has
+a String.Empty value. So, if the first value that Control.Text gets
+(invoked from TextBoxBase) is a String.Empty value, then the
+TextChanged event isn't fired, because both the previous value and the
+current one (Control.Text=String.Empty) are the same.
