[Mono-winforms-list] bug counts

[Pavel Bansky]

I think the best thing you can do for the progress is to report all 
these bugs into bugzilla. I'am not the mono-developer, just the 
'bug-submitter' but all bugs, that I detailed described and submited 
with source-code was always fixed.
More detailed description and example source code the faster bug fix.
