[Mono-list] Missing a trick

[Gavin Hamill]

OK, I must be missing something, but I don't know what. I have Mono 1.1.7 on 
Ubuntu and am trying to run very simple Windows.Forms apps... 

For good measure, I have also "gacutil -u" the Windows.Forms.dll and 'gacutil 
-i' the latest one with the same result:

e.g. http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/winforms/hello/swf-hello.cs

gdh at plip:~/net$ mcs 
swf-hello.cs  /r:System.Windows.Forms /r:System.Drawing /r:System.Data
gdh at plip:~/net$ mono swf-hello.exe

How can I fix this and run this superficial application?

Cheers,
Gavin.
