The issues is that the launch script doesn't work with the version of
bash in 10.5. Unfortunately I don't have a 10.4 machine to be able to
make and test fixes.

I wonder if that's 10.4-specific too. Are you using Mono 2.4 from the installer?

You might be able to fix it by putting libglib-2.0.dylib is in the
LD_LIBRARY PATH, if that applies to Macs.
