[Mono-dev] Managed.Windows.Forms locks X11 up

When I run the mailclient.exe demo... it seems to operate fine
(excepting the failed mail attempts.. though that could just be due
to GMail requiring a certain form of login.)

The notepad.exe demo, however, causes X11 to hard lock,  keys become
entirely unresponsive [even terminal-changing combinations stop
working].  I can login from another computer to fix up the system,
killing X11.
I ran the test from within X and the last message visible was the
one stating the session/desktop manager.  The window space had shown
up, but just showed nothing (what was underneath the window at the
time).
When outside of X, no session/desktop manager showed up at the
screen, and it hadn't locked up yet.  When I switched back to X, the
only change was that the menu options were rendered (File, Edit..etc).

Something evil must be going on, because normal apps should not be
able to lock X up in such a way.  Firefox 'sometimes' hard locks
X... but I 'think' it is something different... especially due to
the rarity of the Firefox+X11 locks.

Any ideas?
