Hi,

What happens if you compile up the source under mono?

mcs MonoTest3.cs -r:System.Windows.Forms -r:System.Drawing

Can you compile up the following small source (it should effectively do
the same - it produces a popup messagebox)

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WelcomeGUI
{
   class Welcome
   {
      static void Main( string[] args )
      {
         MessageBox.Show( "Welcome\nto\nC#\nprogramming!" );
      }
   }
}

Not sure if it's needed, but have you got the X11-devel package
installed (pop over to YaST to check)?

TTFN
