[MonoDevelop] Trouble with XML plugin in 0.13

[Rafael Teixeira]

No, MD and gedit just use the same component (same GTK Widget) to
show/interact with text. That component should have been installed
when you installed MD, so it seems like some packaging issue for your
distro, or some problem when configuring MD  if you compiled from
sources.

Which distro are you using?
