[Mono-osx] Still trouble with 1.1.17

[Ken & Deb Allen]

Initially this variable was not set. I added a "setenv" line to  
my .tschrc file, setting it to the value you indicated, but the  
results were unchanged, whether X11 was started at the time or not. I  
added the lines you indicated to the /etc/bashrc file, but this also  
seemed to make no difference. Is there some other location from which  
a double-clicked application should pick up this type of environment  
variable?
