Thanks, that was it. It wasn't clear that this needed to be the case 
from the mono "getting started" pages.

Wow! This is great: IronPython (with graphics) running on Mono on Linux. 
It is stunning to think of the diverse groups of people that have all 
contributed work to make this possible.

(FYI, I'll be producing some code, examples, and documentation this 
summer about how to use this to control robots. For more info, see 
http://wiki.roboteducation.org/ )

Thanks again!
