[Mono-winforms-list] Kudos Called For

[landon kelsey]

my project also built without changes and I was pleasantly surprised!

That was under fedora 7. Now under Fedora 8, I get a message when using

the System.Windows.Forms reference!

I checked updates to no avail!

Could be something missing in "yum update"

Which distro do you use?
