+Summary: Can't override events in subclasses
+
+Hi,
+since mono 1.2.3 it's impossible to override events from subclasses. This
+leads to a compiler error. This breaks the compilation of Tomboy for
+example. mono 1.2.2.1 worked without any problems on exactly the same code.
+
+Below is a testcase that gives the following error if compiled with "gmcs
+-out:test.dll -target:library test.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0"
+
+
+test.cs(5,42): error CS0072: `A.TagChanged': cannot override because
+`Gtk.TextTagTable.TagChanged' is not an event
+/usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.10.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gtk-sharp.dll
+(Location of the symbol related to previous error)
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+
+
+------
+using System;
+using Gtk;
+
+public class A : TextTagTable {
+	public override event TagChangedHandler TagChanged;
+}
