[Mono-winforms-list] Error starting an Application

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

To build the whole thing you need to download both mono and mcs and fully go 
through mono/autogen.sh once. After that, you can just update 
mcs/class/Managed.Windows.Forms and say 'make && make install' in there.

Here's the link for docs on how to build mono from source: 
http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono (be sure to use the 
mono.myrealbox.com anonymous repository)

If that's too big a deal (which I could understand), I can upload a new 
pre-compiled dll later tonight or tomorrow and you can just 'gacutil -i' 
that.
Right now i've got so much debug in the code, you wouldn't want to run that 
:-)

Cheers,
  Peter
