Does not fail with 0.7.9 here.

Note, that it seems to be a problem with name resolution -- parent of
X.Window is supposed to be X.Drawable which is defined right above it, not
Gdk.Drawable. That suggests something along the lines

    namespace N1 {
        public class A {
            public int i;
        }
    }

    namespace N2 {
        public struct A {
            public int i;
        }

        public struct B : A {
            public int j;
        }
    }

    int main(string[] args)
    {
        return 0;
    }

is likely to fail the same way (I didn't try myself yet, since with my
installed 0.7.9 the problem does not seem to happen as mentioned above).
