I keep forgetting about this.

It's a bug in MonoDevelop:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431112

The project-level imports aren't loaded and passed to the compiler.

You can right-click the project, select compiler options, and in the fields
for additional arguments to the compiler put:
-imports:System.Windows.Forms,System.Drawing,...
