maestro crash on linux (System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer doesn't implement interface System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)

[gabrimonfa]

Maestro compiled from svn updated to first days of september 2012

Mono on ubuntu linux 2.10.8.1-5~dhx1~precise1 from badgerports

Crash on creating a new vector layer definition.

System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer doesn't implement interface System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize

Probably a mono bug or not-implemented.

Stack trace attached

Is Mono running it as though it were a .net 2.0/3.5 application?

SplitContainer implements ISupportInitialize as of .net 4.0

It appears that this interface has not been implemented in 2.10 branch.

The unfortunate thing is that meastro is aborted. This prevents to create new vector layer definitions (however is always possible to duplicate and edit an existing one).

That is just stupid! Visual Studio will be inserting this piece of problematic code on any form/control I open that uses a SplitContainer, meaning I'll not only have to battle with Mono, but Visual Studio's form designer. Argh!

Any form/control with a SplitContainer will have this problem

Tested on mono trunk - version 2.11.5 (master/1be50d0 mer 12 set 2012, 15.42.47, CEST)

The interface has indeed been implemented, thus maestro does not crash anymore creating a new feature source.
