1) edit $your-mono-prefix/etc/2.0/machine.config and
    replace "System.Net.Configuration.SettingsSection"
    with "System.Net.Configuration.NetConfigurationHandler"
    It occurs only once.

2) go to http://mono.ximian.com/daily/ and download an update
    suitable for your Mono version. Untar the update, lookup
    System.dll and update your installation with

    gacutil -i System.dll

This will be fixed with the next (minor or major) Mono version.
