Works for me, but there have been some changes in CVS there.. please see
if this still breaks with the soon to be released 0.8.1pre2.

All we do in Muine is link to what pkg-config --libs dbus-sharp gives
us, so I think this problem is either a Mono, or a DBus# problem ..

Hmm, I wouldn't know how to do this without resorting to strange hacks..
I think we should just be able to assume that what we link against is
there, and available. I mean, before creating a Gtk# widget we don't
check either whether Gtk# is actually there and working ..
