Christian -- thanks, that worked! So now I can reference glib-sharp.dll and gtk-sharp.dll from F# directly, and if glue DLLs are on the path, things run fine. What I wonder is, there's much extra files around each DLL, with .config and whatnot. Do any of the extra files help VS, and then how should I try to preserve that info?
Should I still try to gacutil the main DLLs into GAC? Then which gacutil should/can I use -- must 1.1 work, and is 3.5 OK?

Did you really use CSC 1.1? I followed this mailing list walkthrough per http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-sharp-list@lists.ximian.com/msg03569.html -- and it told be to get .NET 1.1, both runtime and SDK...
