A gtk# might be a good alternative and it's good to have different options 
in GUI development, but I really think that DotGNU should suppport 
Windows.Forms. Most developers will do GUI using it and therefore
it'd enable may programs to run on the systems supported by DotGNU as 
would not be otherwise possible. 

Even if the support is shit and slow it'd be worth it. (something like 
java.awt.swing would be at least possible)
