I would suggest creating a wrapper dll that emulates a clean windowing environment using either X or Win32 specific calls. Then one should write Windows.Forms as some kind of "new" widget set, that is, start from zero. I believe emulating Windows.Forms using either Gtk# or Qt# or Whatever# will prove near impossible.
Such a "virtual windowing system" isn't so difficult to write and emulate on top of X or Win32 since at the bottom level both system are surprisingly similar. (I wrote such a wrapper dll last year for my own use and it works quiet well - I can easily write a GUI program once and use it on either Windows or Linux - of course it is pretty low level.) -- Ulf
