What we really need is mono's windows.forms to be layered on top of gdi32 and user32 for windows controls like buttons, textboxes and so on .. As lots of programs do overrides using native dlls on them, so that's why it should be real windows controls with a wndproc.
Ironically the current situation is for a part our own issue. Years ago Mono's windows.forms used winelib. They moved to a managed implementation because they had wine integration issues and we weren't that cooperative. Further they didn't like the 2d performance much (likely due to the lack of a dib engine ..). They might be reluctant to Wine.
Yup. We have to really get our act together, then undoing the fork might make sense.
