[Mono-winforms-list] Error while trying to show Windows.Forms.Form

[Natalia Portillo]

I have not checked current Mono versions but on Mono 2.4 I got this error while trying to load an application that contains as icon a Windows Vista formatted icon (256x256 pixeles, tru color, PNG compressed).

If you have the lastest libjpeg, libtiff and libpng of your distribution installed this may be the problem.

(Just curious, for BMP, ICO, EMF and WMF Mono uses external libraries? which ones?)
