[Mono-winforms-list] bug counts

[Lee Turner]

Install X11 stuff from Mac OS X CD, install mono from binary package on
website and WinForms will work.

However, I'll give you your point on Monodevelop, I looked at it and just
though... "Hmm, I'll stick to my ubuntu box.."

What I'd really like to see is a GUI driven forms designer for WinForms ala
VS2K3 and VS2K5, doing WinForms by hand is a pita!
(well, it's nice to dream)
