The amount of effort required to get an existing Winforms app running on Mono can vary greatly. Although many small apps will run on Mono unmodified, many apps will require some work on the developer's part to run smoothly on Mono. This guide will attempt to port a non-trivial open source application to document several of the issues a developer may run into while porting their app to Mono.

I don't doubt that that's true - Windows toolkits usually use fixed layouts. And that's why GTK is my preferred toolkit - it's cross-platform and everything is easily resizable.
Just a minor correction - WinForms 2.0 actually supports all the features which GTK has, hence the reason why they broken compatibility with Winforms 1.x - to add features such as resizable/scalable forms. For Mono, the 'best kit' to use would be gtk#, but at the same time, however, Winforms is there for those from the Windows world who find themselves more confortable with it.
