Hello,

    Lovely work Artem, this is something I wanted to see in Gtk#, and am
very glad you looked into the issue.

The problem here is that this exposes an API entry point in
System.Drawing that we can not expose.

There are two considerations to keep in mind:

	* We are trying to keep the Gtk#, Gdk# and company independent
	  of System.Drawing as part of our full independent stack.

	* We can not add API entry points to System.Drawing

Your code probably should go into a third assembly and library: one that
glues the worlds together as its own module, say `gtk-drawing'.

Would you be interested in doing the work?
