[Mono-winforms-list] When will winforms be working?

[Evangelos Arkalis]

I am using mono-0.28 and mono-wine. 0.28 Version is the last working
with wine-lib. 
If you want to try windows.forms try this old version until problems
will be resolved...

In the Console it gives me "Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: GdiplusStartup"
