[Mono-list] GTKsharp 3

[Alan]

Hey,

So GTK# 3 is still a work in progress. We're switching to using the
gobject-introspection information to remove the need for a lot of the
manual fixups and ownership issues. However there are limitations in
the format which make it hard to work with accurately. I think we've
either got them fixed or we have workarounds for everything now. The
latest code can be found here I believe:
