Ahhh. Very true. I have done this in a Winforms environment and it will allow the Timer thread to attach to the same thread the Winform is using. I guess you can't do that with a Gtk window. That might be something to specifically ask the Mono team.
Does anyone from the Mono team know why the below will not work?
Thanks!
