[Mono-list] Mono Installation on Ubuntu 14.04

	Hi,

>No.  If you write an application such as GTK#Hello which requires GTK# and you distribute a rpm or deb, then your rpm or deb should depend on gtk-sharp.  But GTK# is not part of mono.  It's a graphics library.  The reason you need it is because you wrote a graphics application.

You can write a Windows Forms application (i.e., "graphics" application), without the need of Gtk#. For example:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/mono-basics/#winforms-hello-world

In the other hand, however, WinForms is deprecated.
So including a dependency on Gtk# is not a crazy idea at all.
