[Mono-osx] Still trouble with 1.1.17

[Ken & Deb Allen]

Previously with 1.1.16 on MacOS X there were a number of problems  
reported launching Mono applications that used System Windows Forms,  
all revolving around the inability to locate specific libraries, all  
of which actually appeared to be present.

This seems to be have been resolved with the 1.1.17.1 release, but I  
still cannot get the application to execute.

I downloaded and installed the new Mono release, compiled and  
macpacked the application code, and when I double-click on the  
application from the Finder, the program starts to load and then  
crashes. I then explicitly started the X11 program and again double- 
clicked my built application, with the same result.

The following is the console output from attempting to execute the  
built program. I can provide the simple source files and build script  
to any who want to attempt to reproduce this problem. I should note  
that this is a 'clean' Mono installation, with no extra configuration  
attempts or environment variables manually set. I have simply been  
installing each version of Mono as it becomes available and then  
attempting to execute the code. I should also note that this exact  
same code loaded and ran under 1.1.13, although the forms rendering  
on the screen had a large number of problems.
