[Mono-winforms-list] Workaround for this bug? (Audible Alert makes Msgbox.show blow up)

[Jonathan Pobst]

X11 is the old backend.  Carbon is the newer one.

Your best bet is probably just to get a newer copy of the 
System.Windows.Forms.dll where the original issue is fixed and use that.

The daily packages haven't been updating recently, but 12/15/09 should 
still be new enough to fix it:

Get either monocharge or mono, unzip System.Windows.Forms.dll from it, 
open a mono window, and use gacutil:

gacutil -i System.Windows.Forms.dll

That should install the newer version for you.
