[MonoDevelop] Problem editing Project with SVN

[Charles Mason]

Success !!! Since mono 2.0 was just released I decided to get the
source tar and build it rather than using a recent SVN build. Anyway
with mono 2.0 installed I reran the installed Mono Develop, it had the
same problem as before.

Anyway I decided to make install the SVN build that was installed. I
did a make clean then an SVN update (I think updated it 2 days before)
then reconfigured, built it. Initially I ran it via make run, that
worked fine. So I make installed it and now its running really well.

I now have an odd theme bug which makes the centre of the tabs and
scroll bars fade to white. Its hard to describe, buts that's a problem
for another day. I have had this before with this theme. It only
happens in mono develop not banshee or any other GTK Sharp app.

I am not sure if moving back to mono 2.0 solved it, the reinstall
process or perhaps something in the SVN update I did.

Anyway thanks again for the previous suggestions.
