Firstly, Corba was there from the start, and then it was removed. Secondly, there is no .NET dependency that must be satisified to create GNOME applications. While there are a few interesting points Tovalds made, the problem isn't really a technical one in the code, but rather a lack of focus on what really matters.

No, but many apps that are part of the "official" Gnome desktop run on Mono.
