I want to make certain controls visible on a form after certain events have
happened.  I use BackgroundWorker to avoid the treading issues but the controls
never appear on the form.  I set a breakpoint on setLogonValues and it does
break and each of lines in that function are executed, but they never show on
the form.  This works in Windows but not in Linux.

 .....
BackgroundWorker bw = new BackgroundWorker ();
bw.RunWorkerCompleted += setLogonValues;
bw.RunWorkerAsync ();
}

private void setLogonValues (object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
labLogOn.Visible = true;
txtStudentID.Visible = true;
btnLogOn.Visible = true;
labStatus.Text = "";
txtStudentID.Text = "";
txtStudentID.Focus ();
}

I've also tried:
txtStudentID.Invoke ((MethodInvoker)delegate { txtStudentID.Visible = true; });

Finally, I've also tried forgetting the invoke or BackgroundWorker and just
setting txtStudentID.Visible = true;  I didn't get an error but the textbox
control didn't show either.

But that doesn't work either.  I posted this on the Mono forum and it was
suggested that I report as bug.
