[Mono-list] LockBits() on Mono 2.2?

[Stifu]

Nice to hear!
Double buffering should work fine, independently of the way you set the
pixels of your images.

On a side note, I had troubles getting double buffering to work on my own
app, but not due to Mono bugs... In the end, I simply did it manually rather
than with the DoubleBuffered property.
