[Mono-winforms-list] Copy rather than drawing an image to a graphics object?

[Stifu]

Hi,

How about defining clip regions for the parts that should be transparent,
before calling Clear?
However, I remember getting into issues doing something similar with Mono.
It worked fine with .NET, though.
See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492299
