MD doesn't put anything in the GAC at all. However, Mono.Addins and
GTK# are in the GAC. What Mono and GTK# versions do you have, and how
did you install them?

I'd expect to see error messages, yes. Could you try a clean rebuild
of MD with "make clean", "svn st" to check no files have somehow been
locally modified, re-configure at the top level, and build again, then
"make run". That should 99% ensure nothing is "damaged".

Does this hppen with other projects?
