[Mono-list] Weirdness with System.Drawing on Mono/Linux

[Stifu]

It sounds like CompositingMode.SourceCopy not only turns off alpha blending,
but also transparency, with Mono. It's most likely a bug.

I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone in the Mono team really maintains
System.Drawing or GDI+ anymore. So if this bug matters to you, I suggest you
try to fix it yourself in Mono and submit a patch.
