[Mono-winforms-list] Problems with Mac OSX (Intel), Mono 1.1.16.1 and gdiplus

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

Susan,

I haven't looked at the config files, but from your description it does 
indeed sound like a bug, we do need the same config for the 2.0 profile. 
Would you mind logging a bug at bugzilla.ximian.com? File it under 
System.Windows.Forms if you can't find an appropriate category, and I will 
then find an owner for it.

Cheers,
    Peter
