[Mono-list] Installing mono to cygwin

[Jonathan Pobst]

Following the Tomboy installation guide, it does not even use Mono on 
Windows.  It uses .NET and GTK# for .NET.

https://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/Installing/Windows

My guess is you installed Mono instead of GTK# for .NET.

You want:
http://download.mono-project.com/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp-2.12.10.win32.msi

from:
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

Hope this helps!
Jon
