[Mono-list] using gdi+ with gtk#

Oh, you should get some rotating text and some graphics, what version
of Mono are you running?

We fixed a lot of issues in GDI+ and System.Drawing, you might want to
install Mono from:

This is not the final beta2, its just a staging area, but it should help.

Yes, we want to make it into a library, but we have to decide on the
right API (just a little tuning).  The routine I used above always does
a translation to the exposed area, which is useful, but might be
wasteful.

Also, it maps directly into the on-screen bitmap, maybe we should have
a routine to draw a Graphics into the exposed area.

Miguel.
