I'd expect this to work out of the box if you don't touch P/Invokes or 
otherwise use explicitly non-portable techniques.

Something to beware?  For example, classes PathGradientBrush, 
ToolStripDropDown don't work as expected on mono--you might need to 
develop some workaround.  Check out the known issues list at the 
official site.
