[Mono-winforms-list] Control Resize?

[Josh]

So, hopefully this gives someone some insight into the issue... or should I
say, non-issue?

I have been plugging away at my Mono port even without this MenuStrip
working correctly and I finally got tired to using the command line to test,
so I wrote a quick, 2-line shell-script to CD to the directory and run the
command, same as from a terminal window... only difference is that when I
use the shell script to open the program my MenuStrips render perfectly!

After checking things out further, I have discovered that if the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the path to ~whatever/mono-1.9/lib my MenuStrips do
not render correctly, but when I run in a shell script and include "export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/myported/libs" so it only includes the path to my included
libs, my app runs perfectly fine under Mono linux... What in "libs" would be
causing this issue? Should I file a more details bug report on this or is it
a known issue?
