 Sorry, I highly doubt that this is a dup of bug #79811. This is from
 what I see caused by mono handling stuff in /usr/lib/mono/{1,2}.0
 different than normal GAC'ed libraries.
 
 IIRC Meebey talked with you about this on IRC some days ago...

+Ok, let me try to understand what's happening:
+
+* gtk# uses mcs and thus is linked against the 1.0 profile version of
+Mono.Cairo
+
+* you're using gtk# with gmcs
+
+* your source references a class from Mono.Cairo, thus requiring a
+reference to that dll
+
+* you don't seem to have Mono.Cairo 1.0 in the GAC (?)
+
+Can you try to reference the 1.0 profile version of the dll directly?
+ i.e, use
+
+  -r:/usr/lib/mono/1.0/Mono.Cairo.dll
+
+instead of compiling the source files.
