This appears to be an old Mono compiler bug that is fixed in more
recent versions of Mono.  Havoc experienced this when building Tomboy
a few months ago, and he just modified AddinManagerDialog.cs to use
the fully qualified class name when referencing SetupService.  So you
would just replace "SetupService" in that file with
"Mono.Addins.Setup.SetupService".

We try not to deviate too much from the official Mono.Addins code, but
maybe this is something we should fix in our bundled copy of it.  In
the meantime, patching that file should fix your problems.

Best,
Sandy
