[Mono-list] Embedding resources (bug?)

[Mariano Alarcon]

Thanks. This raises two questions, though:

1- Does de gtk# library(ies) run without the rest of the mono runtime 
(i.e. inside de .net framework) ?
2- How do you create a .resources file that can be deserialized into a 
gtk# Image type (if there is such a thing)?

Does anyone know?
