[Mono-list] Embedding resources (bug?)

[Mariano Alarcon]

I found a strange behavior with this code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Resources;
using System.Reflection;
namespace ResourceTests
{
   /// <summary>
   /// Gives an exception when trying to access
   /// an embedded resource.
   /// </summary>
   class ResourceExceptionTest
   {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Imagenes",
                              Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
           Image img = (Image) rm.GetObject("imagen");
           img.Save("test.gif", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
           Console.WriteLine("The image was successfully saved!");
       }
   }
}
I created a "Imagenes.resources" file using an utility called "Resourcer" 
from Lutz Roeder which can be downloaded from here: 
(http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/). But I don't think that's the problem.

Here is what happens:
- runs on windows with ms.net 1.1
- compiles on linux (mono 1.0) and runs fine (mono's binary) on windows 
with ms.net 1.1
- on linux running mono 1.0 it explodes with:

Am I doing something wrong? Is Bitmap not supported yet? You can't save 
to .gif? Should I report a bug?

Mariano.
