Yeah I got the same errors,too and I never found the reason, but I 
suspect that this is caused by a version conflict. There are 2 versions 
of Mono.Cairo in your GAC: version 1.1 and 2.0. Gdk links against the 
1.1 version whereas you are probably linking 2.0.

I am using multiple assemblies in my project and some are compiled with 
the 3.5 profile and other parts with 2.0. If I called a method taking a 
Cairo.Context in another assembly of my project, then I got errors 
during the build which disappeared by re-building a part of the project. 
Then MD was using MSBuild as the default project format and I re-created 
my project files to use the new format. And suddenly this error didn't 
occur anymore.

I am really wondering what the real cause of these errors is.
