[Mono-list] How to start a process? (Crossplatform)

Hello, I am trying to start a process in my application.

Process.Start("utility.exe", "my argument list");

As you see the "utility.exe" is in the same directory as the application itself.
Works fine for Windows and some Linux distros. But in other distros I
can't start
 the utility just by "utility.exe", and I forced to use "mono
utility.exe". I belive this behaveour
is because of that in some distros mono binaries registered as
executable files, and in others not.

Obviously I can't force all users to use "Proper Linux Distro", and I
can't always use "mono" prefix,
or I lose the Windows platform. Is there any solution to this problem?
