[Partly-SOLVED!] Re: Output from Console.WriteLine methods is deferred

Hey! I upgraded successfully (well, I had to overwrite and write some 
script to launch the appropiate version of the nunit-console) and it 
seems that the deferred output problem is fixed! So many thanks. I have 
also filed a bug against OpenSUSE: 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410731

However, it seems I'm facing a problem now. I'm getting this exception 
when running my tests:

Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
  Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to 
handle the exception.
System.ArgumentException: GCHandle value belongs to a different domain
  at System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.op_Explicit (IntPtr value) 
[0x00000]

As you may know, Gtk# cannot work well with AppDomains so I'm wondering 
if: is NUnit using more than one appdomain for running the tests?
If yes, is there a way to make it work in a one-appdomain mode? And, do 
you know if this feature has been introduced in the 2.4 series? If yes, 
that would explain why I wasn't getting this exception earlier. If not, 
maybe there was a bug in earlier versions of NUnit which prevented from 
catching this exception, right?

Any insight will be appreciated!

Regards,

	Andrés
