No there are other toolkit out.
All not yet fully implemented you have qt# and wx.NET (wxWindow
implementation). There could be others but that's all I know off.
I'm thinking of implementing fltk.NET if you have interests you can
repley :)

After a lot of experimenting I was able to create a small GUI app that runs
under Mono and Windows (even supported the Windows XP theme). I did end up
using Gtk#. I guess what I'm looking for is an easy way of building a GUI
that works under both Linux and Windows (maybe OS X later down the road). I
found a GUI builder tool (the name has slipped my mind) for Gtk# that will
create an XML file that can be used with Mono to speed up GUI development.

I hadn't known about fltk until your post. Do you think there would be
advantages over Gtk#?

The advantages would be that fltk will be alot faster and lighter also
it will be more portable then gtk. But like I said I'm planning on doing
this maybe the upcomming christmass holiday , it would be fun if we
where with 2.
Maybe wx.Net is more what you are looking for it's a layer above gtk on
*nix and above win32 on windows it also support osX.
