[Mono-osx] SysTray Compatibility

[neilt]

I'm trying to write an app that uses the system tray, that can be used on
Windows and Mac. I've checked compatibility with MoMa and it comes out fine.
I've run it in Mono in Windows fine, but on OSX it errors out with the
following.

Unhandled Exception:

I'm assuming regardless of what MoMa says that the System Tray is not
supported. How is this normally handled. Is this not possible with a native
windows app, and needs to be GTK# or something?
