I had another quick look at this. As I said above, it seems like relative paths
are different depending on the way an application is run. I'm going to update
the bug report to clear that up.

I added these lines to the test case:

string path = Path.GetFullPath("mono-logo.png");

MessageBox.Show(path);

When running through MonoDevelop or through command line, this returns:

/home/username/blabla/WindowsApplication3/WindowsApplication/bin/Debug/mono-logo.png

However, when running the application by right clicking the exe and selecting
"Open with mono", then the path is:

/home/username/mono-logo.png

So it can't find the image then, hence the exception.

So, although not intuitive, is it really a bug? And if it is, I doubt it's a
WinForms one, more like a shell / openSUSE bug or something?
