Thanks for the insight.
1) I'm using monodevelop from svn, so that'd be the source of your
problem... although I don't really know why that happen, .csproj
should be somehow "portable".

2) I'm gonna look up into that API difference, and try to figure it
out whether I should dispose ImageSurface or not.

3) I thought too about using only GStreamer, but gst-moodbar plugin
and moodbar binary are inside the same package in every distro I've
checked. So, for now, I don't see the need for duplicating the code.

Thanks for the hosting proposition but I'm gonna stick to github.
