[Mono-winforms-list] NullReferenceException under Wine

[jeffguy]

Thanks for the link.  I think it got me a step closer.  When I ran the
install file you suggested, I got the following:



It looks like a failure, but when I then tried running OutsparkLancher
again, the first error disappears :-)
Unfortunately, I see the same symptoms.  The new error console output is
enclosed.

I tried googling several of the fixme errors, but didn't see anything
useful.  Do any of you have advice on where I can search next, trying to get
this working?

Thanks!
