Geoff (or anyone),

i'm having another look at WinForms on OSX, but my apps fail to start 
with the exception below, claiming a missing libgdiplus.dylib - but that 
file is present in said location. What could i be missing?

WinForms worked ok on previous Monos (1.24 or 1.25 - im not sure; has 
been a while since i tried it).

This is with the 1.2.6_2 preview and the updated MWF package from your blog.


Somewhat unrelated: would one need to do anything special in order to 
take advantage of the new drivers and run WinForms without X11? i notice 
my standard "-m WinForms" macpack'ed app still launches X11 (before 
crashing)...
