Hrm. Seems to me mono is going to become an important part of wine pretty soon, if it lets us run .net applications.
What would have to be done to make MS .net work with wine? I think MS .Net might be better a better choice-- when thinking of compatibility -- especially in connection with the latest
VisualStudio.
I think it's been poked at a bit, and ought to be doable. It's probably a month or so's concentrated work by some wine developer. I'd like to see it happen, but it's always risky to get hooked on MS code that could be withdrawn or made incompatible with Wine; better to spend the effort getting the Mono route working first, especially since it looks like that's really close. If you want to try it, here's a shell script that installs mono and sets up the registry keys needed for Wine to use it for .net programs: http://kegel.com/wine/fakedotnet.sh

Hmmm... gtk-sharp demos seem to work -- but since gtk switched to cairo fonts are wrong(*) in gtk apps which run in wine. Some time ago I could run gimp in wine (well, it needed the paths to be set correctly and the exe-plug-ins being removed). This was with gtk-2.6 (without cairo) and the fonts where okay.
I also wrote a small scalar-product-benchmark which was similar slow compared to "native" mono. ;-)
Ciao, Olaf
