[Mono-winforms-list] Problem with Form.Show() and Thread.Sleep()

[Christopher Nehren]

I'm trying to follow the examples in Charles Petzold's "Programming
Windows with C#", but this code doesn't show any windows on my system.
Anyone have any ideas why I don't see anything?

//-----------------------------------------------
// ShowFormAndSleep.cs ^© 2001 by Charles Petzold

using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class ShowFormAndSleep
{
        public static void Main()
        {
                Form form = new Form();

                form.Show();

                Thread.Sleep(2500);

                form.Text = "My First Form";

                Thread.Sleep(2500);
        }
}

I'm running Mono 1.1.7, the latest S.W.F.dll as of about 2:30 PM EST
today, and libgdiplus 1.1.7.
