I extracted your attachment, 'Main.exe'.  I'm running
mono-1.1.4 that I installed by using the OS X binary
package.  Here is the output of 'mono Main.exe':

I did 'find /Library/Frameworks -name libMonoPosixHelper.dylib' and found
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.1.4/lib/libMonoPosixHelper.dylib

Regardless of this problem, it is clear that
System.Windows.Forms is using X11.  What's up?
