I haven't run any System.Windows.Forms apps on OS X, but open-x11 is  
a Mac OS X app to run binary executables, not managed assemblies.  
Therefore any "open-x11 YourApp.exe" is destined to fail because the  
assembly is no OS X executable. Try "open-x11 mono .../YourApp.exe".

I've ceased to use macpack and instead generate the package structure  
manually in my Makefile as macpack generates superseeded launch  
scripts and for me often leads to the bundle icon not being displayed  
correctly in Tiger's Finder.
