Ok, so under Ubuntu 8.10, installing 'mono' is not enough.  I was able to install some other mono related packages and get it working.

I think this is the important one:
libmono-winforms2.0-cil

I also installed these for good measure:
libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil
libmono-i18n2.0-cil

The previous version worked just fine for me, so I guess some dependencies got added.

I've no idea man, I don't think I added anything that would cause this
Ah this is possibly the window movement thing, I centre the window and stuff when the game starts.

Thanks for the heads up!

I was getting the same deal, and those packages seem to have fixed it. But the game still won't start, now I get this:

./run-dyson
