I am attempting to use "[TypeConverter(typeof(TypeNameConverter))]" to specify
that a configuration property should be converted from "string" to "Type" using
the TypeNameConverter. This works fine under the CLR but fails with the
following under Mono:

Unhandled Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The
value of the property 'my-property' cannot be parsed. () ( line 1)
