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

[max]

This explains why I haven't been able to make it work either for about three 
weeks now. I've even tried to recompile wine ! (what a mistake, it took 5 
hours on my 450).

I've tried to look at the source and understand by myself, but it's very messy 
out there. it seems like there's different versions of code under class/
System.Windows.Forms , and I don't know what folders we're supposed to be 
working with.

if someone can let us know what is the code we're supposed to be looking at, 
I'm definitely willing to help debug those forms and make them work
