The Mono implementation needs Wine on Linux (IIRC). The DotGNU people 
are also working on Winforms. But WxWidgets for .NET looks more 
promising as it tries to use native Widgets of the Platform (GTK or 
Win32). There is also a implementation which has no dependencies on GTK, 
but directly runs on X11 and there is wxEmbedded.
