VS.NET is embedding the image this way:

   <data name="DefaultAvatar" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, 
System.Windows.Forms">
     <value>..\Resources\default.png;System.Drawing.Bitmap, 
System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</value>
   </data>

But I did not find any code in mono's ResX support that flips the
backslashes. This explains why the code runs on Windows: this OS
does not care about the \ + / mess.
