[Mono-winforms-list] System.Windows.Forms test

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

Please read what the exception tells you. You are lacking a gdiplus that 
supports the requested image format.

If you built from source, configure tells you at the end which image 
libraries it found, and where to get them (if not found).
