[Mono-list] Remoting Puzzle

[Charlie Poole]

Well, it was a good idea to look for an exception on a thread,
but it turns out not to be a serialization error.

Actually, it was a RemotingException: "Permission denied: cannot 
call non-public or static methods remotely." 

Now that seemed odd, since it's an interface method. On a hunch
I changed the definitions from void EventListener.MethodName
to just plain public void MethodName and it worked!

This seems like a mono 2.4 bug, whereby an explicit interface
definition looks like a non-public method, at least in the
context of a remoting call.
