[Mono-list] First GTK application

[Ben Motmans]

1) 
Gdk.Pixbuf pixbuf = new Gdk.Pixbuf("location_to_image.png");
Image image = new Image(pixbuf);
toolbar.AppendItem("Text", "Tooltip", "Private Tooltip", image, new
SignalFunc(OnClick));

you can use all image formats supported by Gdk.Pixbuf (jpg, png, gif,
bmp, ...) and svg if you use Rsvg.Pixbuf

2)
toolbar.AppendItem(...)
toolbar.Prependtem(...)
toolbar.InsertItem(...)

3) no idea

4) 
Statusbar is a subclass of HBox, so you can use
statusbar.PackStart(...) and .PackEnd(...) to add widgets

5) have a look at the new System.Windows.Forms, all the controls are
painted using Cairo
but what's wrong with the Gtk Notebook?

PS) have a look at 
http://www.tremor.be/GtkDemoApp-20041001.zip

it is a (unfinished) Gtk# demo application, but there are allready a
lot of working demo's
