No idea why Gtk cannot open the display(running my own Gtk# apps from a 
Cygwin console worked), but yeah, you'd better try to run md from a 
Windows shell then.

MonoDevelop cannot find all these assemblies in the global assembly 
cache(GAC) where they should have been installed by running "make install".

Try to find these assemblies(they will probably be in the directory from 
which you compiled the sources, simply search for *.dll), start the Mono 
shell(which will include the mono bin directory in the PATH of the 
console session) and run gacutil /i "PATH_TO_MonoDevelop.Core.dll". Do 
the same with all the other assemblies. "gacutil /l" will give you a 
list of all assemblies that have been installed into the GAC.
