[Mono-winforms-list] System.Windows.Forms.Screen.BitsPerPixel does not exist

[Stephen Apostolopoulos]

Glad to hear it's being worked on :)

Is someone working on the actual detection code, or should I donate mine 
once it's ready? (I'll have to do this anyway, because upgrading to 1.2.7 is 
not really an option - Ubuntu 8.04 will ship with 1.2.6)
