Talking with Miguel on IRC today we decided it would be a good idea to update everyone on the state of the MWF Mac driver in hopes to 
prioritize a set of realistic goals for 1.2.6.  As of yesterday I have committed the bulk of my work to get the driver working again.  The list included in this email does not include bugs or performance issues but is a rough map of the features that are currently 
missing / not fully implemented in the driver.

My first pass at the priority list is this:

HIGH
    1. Keyboard Driver
    2. Clipping (I have about 80% coverage of the clipping cases; but there are a lot of edge cases that cause controls to disappear)
    3. Async methods

MEDIUM
    1. Clipboard
    2. DND
    3. ReversibleDrawing

LOW
    1. Audio
    2. Systray
    3. Cursors

I plan on focusing on the keyboard driver in the immediate future.  If anyone is curious as to what is involved you can look at the X11Keyboard.cs for a sample implementation for X11.
