That shouldn't happen because loading those libraries is wrapped around
a try/catch, anyway, something is clearly broken.

If I recall correctly UiaAtkBridge.Table was introduced in 1.0, and
since it's saying that this class is missing I bet you are using 0.9 or
lower, to fix it you could try two things:

1. Uninstall all "uia" related packages, this in case you don't need
accessibility.
2. If you *do* need accessibility you will have to wait a little bit, we
are working on packaging the 2.1 packages for Ubuntu 10.04, packages for
other distributions[1] are already available.

I guess this happened because you installed/mixed UI Automation versions
or built them from source and then you overwrote your packaged mono. If
you didn't do anything like that I will appreciate if you tell me where
you downloaded the debs, if you built them from sources or what you did
to get this error otherwise it will be really hard to fix.
