If you use Gtk# from within the Mono 1.1.3 or 1.0.5 installers in a 
version of Windows that supports themes (Windows XP and 2003 do) you 
will get the Gtk# Wimp theme by default.

So what that means is that any Gtk# or Glade# application you create and 
run under the above conditions will already have the Wimp look and feel.

Furthermore, if you install the Gtk# Win32 Installer for the .NET 
Framework 1.1 SDK or its sister project the Gtk# Win32 Runtime installer 
for .NET Framework 1.1 Runtime, you will get the same features.

I also invite you guys to execute: gtkthemeselector.exe from your 
command line while in Windows XP or Windows 2003 equipped with the above 
installers to play around with other Gtk# themes like Metal. :)

Hope this helps clarify some questions.
