[MonoDevelop] S.W.F -> Gtk# Mappings

[Jonathan Darrer]

Hi,

I'm from a S.W.F background - albeit minimal. I'd appreciate an example - 
just to get a little familiar with the basics, as the documentation on the 
Mono website has not yet been written. I think it might be useful on the 
website too, for a few reasons. To give people an idea of how the port was 
done, and show them how to go about doing something similar themselves. I 
don't want to waste anyone's time, and it's by no means urgent, but I would 
appreciate it. :o)

Jonathan

NB. Something with a Form, MainMenu, Panel, TextBox, Buttons and some Events 
would be good.
