[Mono-osx] Anybody get Winforms to work on Mac OS X mono

[Jason Bell]

I had this problem too and had to alter the config file to point to the 
library's specific location.

Add the following to 
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/etc/mono/config

<dllmap dll="libX11.dylib" target="/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dylib"/>

You'll probably encounter more problems after.  I personally haven't gotten 
winforms working on os x yet.
