There is no connection between gnome and Windows-Forms. You don't need to 
install those to use SWF (on any platform).

The task of running SWF on the Mac is a bit hard right now because there are 
no pre-built packages yet, give it a bit of time. Kangaroo has been making 
tremendous progress and hopefully we will find a volunteer to make packages 
out of it when it's done, too, at which point it should be very easy.
