I run Kubuntu 10.04 too, and I installed the Mono stuff from packages.
However, I built Qyoto and Kimono myself, and I don't have this
problem. So I think this is some sort of bug in the Debian or Kubuntu
packages of Qyoto. Someone reported the same problem about symbolic
links to me a few days ago, and again via private mail, and so we
really need to send these reports to some kind of public list to have
any chance of finding out what is going wrong.

I this only happens when running under MonoDevelop, it may be a
problem with the debugger. I not sure - as far as I know we haven't
changed anything much for the KDE 4.5 release.

I'm not sure why this would be, but I don't have the MonoDevelop
debugger on my machine.

I changed jobs a month or two ago and I don't get the mails from my
old job anymore. I really should get a kde.org mail address so that I
have a public mail address that everyone knows about - I must get
round to doing that.

I don't mind answering emails you send to this address, the only
problem is that I don't think I've been much use with the above
replies. Instead it is better to send them to the kde-bindings at kde.org
mailing list because it is more likely that someone reading the list
might have experience of using the MonoDevelop debugger or whatever. I
hope you don't mind if I cc this reply to that list.
