Thanks, Miguel. I'll try X-develop, although my long term goal is to  
see mono (and monodevelop, by extension) be completely independent of  
X. My rationale is that mono will be much more easily accepted in the  
traditional IT community if it does not have significant external  
dependencies. The native Quartz port of Gtk 2.10 sounds really good.
