My assumption would be that DoEvents drains the Win32 message queue by  
calling non-blocking GetMessage followed by the corresponding message- 
processing function. Most likely the implementation of  
EnableVisualStyles broadcasts a message to all the application's  
windows, which needs to be processed for the settings change to take  
effect.

But since Mono's System.Windows.Forms is Open Source [1], why was it  
again that no one has found out what DoEvents does? ;-)
