[MonoDevelop] Can't edit the References in the UI.

[Todd Berman]

Ahh, this might be part of the project references changeover.

For 0.4 we use AssemblyName.FullName to encode all the information about 
a referenced assembly. What I recommend, is opening the .prjx with a 
text editor and manually removing the reference nodes from the XML, 
saving it, and loading it up in MD and adding them back. This is the 
best way to accomplish the transition in certain cases.

This was a necessary step to properly handle references in a 
crossplatform way, and the only way we were going to be able to handle 
multiple versions of the same assembly names.

If this doesnt solve your issues, let me know and we can work it out.
