Gonzalo, before enter a bug report, consider the following.

My assembly is defined as culture neutral, but has been localized
to four languages. The .NET documentation says that the directory
layout of *.resources files is very import... they should be organized
like this:

bin
  + en-US
  |   + myassembly.resources
  + de-DE
  |   + myassembly.resources
  + fr-FR
      + ...

The exception described above occurs because my assembly is
culture neutral, but the default resources have been
compiled into the en-US directory (if I compile the default
resource into the top directory, it does function also with
Mono on Linux).

The ResourceManager class should be able load the most
compatible resources, isn't it? 

Gius_.
