When using win32 mono it should be using win32 gtk / gdk. I believe
those dlls have about the same names as the linux ones. Make sure that
win32 moni is really used. Second win32 mono only works for a limited
number of apps for most things you need ms .net. I would suggest to
try it using native mono first. Since the source is also around it
would also be easy to locate mono bugs (hopefully the app doesn't make
any win32 calls).
