I can't speak much for bonobo, although there is some info in the Mono
FAQ on it.

Work is in progress to provide a C# wrapper to access the gtk+ library.
It will then be a fairly simple exercise to implement the Windows.Forms
classes using these gtk-sharp classes. So, your gtk skills will come in
handy if you choose to use the gtk-sharp API directly.  The goal is to
keep the public API as similar to the C API as makes sense.
