[Mono-list] Running Windows.Forms app under mono?

[Jonathan Pryor]

The short answer: Don't bother yet.

The (slightly) longer answer: There are unresolved issues between mono,
wine, threading, and garbage collection.  There may be other issues. 
They haven't been solved, and I'm not sure when they will be solved.  I
can say that people are working on it, but that's about it.
