Hi All, Well, you'll be glad to know that it does not seem to be a Mono issue.
SLES 11 and openSUSE 11.1 had that Starting Form on top issue. But when we used a fresh install of openSUSE 11.2, everything worked beautifully using the current release of Mono 2.4.2.3 I am not sure why, I'm guessing it could be something to do with the specific hardware currently in use as when we tried on different hardware configuration, everything worked fine in openSUSE 11.1 and Mono 2.4.2.3 For you information, this is the hardware that causes issue with version 11 and 11.1: Intel Atom N270 (945GSE + ICH7) with Intel GMA 950 type of system. Maybe a Gnome pre-2.28 or driver issue... unsure... Since we dictate what OS goes with our software it does not create an issue for us anymore... Thanks for your help on this issue.
