Hi all,
Developing and delivering software like Mono is not an easy task and a complex engineering project. We're committed to delivering Mono 1.0 in June and supporting the Linux x86, MacOS X platforms, have no doubt about that. As you know we also intend to provide support for Solaris and Linux

I'm interested to know what your (and others') problems with GTK# are and
what you mean by support -- are you finding it difficult to learn, in
other words would better documentation help? Or are you finding it difficult
to use, things aren't working as advertised, that kind of thing?

Also have to mention that GTK# can be used on the windows
side.
