[Mono-dev] Patches for mono-winforms

I built and ran that same test-project under .NET, and it succeeded.  I don't know what else to tell you.  I wouldn't have sent that patch, unit test, and project unless it was working both with .NET under MS Windows and latest Mono under Linux.

You're right, I've been lucky -- I have you paying attention to my bug fixes.  But there are a lot of other potential bug fixes for Mono, with no one paying attention to them.  It's distressing, is all.  I wonder if Richard Stallman foresaw this level of maintainer apathy towards motivated contributors.

I wasn't talking about the mailing list in particular, but any media
(bugzilla, Git...). My point was that getting that many patches pushed
within such a short time, for a part that is no longer maintained by the
Mono team, is pretty good. I'd have been pretty happy if my patches received
that much attention a few years ago.

Anyway, about patch 2, whether I build it with .NET or Mono, I get the error
I mentioned, running the application with Mono on Windows. So unless this is
an OS-specific issue, I don't know what's the problem. I'll try to check it
out on Linux, whenever I can find some time. Meanwhile, if anyone wants to
review the patch, feel free.
