There appears to be some excellent news on the horizon for Mono. Avalon,
the new Longhorn GUI system, no longer relies on Win32 for anything-no more
WndProc! Instead, it sits on top of WinFX, which is a new Managed Windows
subsystem that runs parallel (not on top of) to Win32.
The good news is that it should be far easier to map the Avalon components
to some native components. Maybe there's still hope for cross-platform GUI
applications yet? Now if only I didn't have to wait so long to get the
WinForms stuff working on OSX..
