the issue exists because gnome-desktop-sharp is still trying to load the old gnome-desktop soname. Sadly upstream doesn't support the new gnome-desktop 3.0.0

@Daniel, can monodevelop be compiled without it or we need to support a gnome-desktop2 package?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "soname"?
Thanks.
