[Mono-list] Embedding resources (bug?)

[Mariano Alarcon]

I found a strange behavior with this code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Resources;
using System.Reflection;

namespace ResourceTests
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gives an exception when trying to access
    /// an embedded resource.
    /// </summary>
    class ResourceExceptionTest
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Imagenes",
                               Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

            Image img = (Image) rm.GetObject("imagen");
            img.Save("test.gif", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

            Console.WriteLine("The image was successfully saved!");
        }
    }
}

I created a "Imagenes.resources" file using an utility called "Resourcer" 
from Lutz Roeder which can be downloaded from here: 
(http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/). But I don't think that's the problem.

Here is what happens:

- runs on windows with ms.net 1.1
- compiles on linux (mono 1.0) and runs fine (mono's binary) on windows 
with ms.net 1.1
- on linux running mono 1.0 it explodes with:

Am I doing something wrong? Is Bitmap not supported yet? You can't save 
to .gif? Should I report a bug?
