System.Drawing on Linux is implemented using Cairo, then if you use
System.Drawing you will end-up using the Cairo engine also. Currently,
the implementation of System.Drawing is quite complete and there is a
few people working with it. The Mono.Cairo bindings are not yet finished
and test it.

You can use as System.Drawing surface a bitmap or a GTK# window. Miguel
posted an example on this list on the Thu, 27 May 2004 of how to do
this.
