[plug] .NET, Mono, Cross platform....

Ok. I'm just looking for someone to clear some stuff up for me.
My understanding of Mono and .NET is somewhat limited.
I'm looking for an easy method to program with multiple languages for
multiple platforms with GUI's.

So basically, I write the core in C and write a function in Fortran (I
know that nether Mono or .NET currently have Fortran) and they compile
together and run cleanly together. I then add a GUI (another language
as well?) and have it all running nicely. I then take it to a Windows
box and it compiles and displays using the native GUI.
So from my readings, on Linux it may use GTK# and on Windows it uses
WinForms without me changing code? It just works?? Or do I need to
write to versions (at least of the GUI, the core can stay the same) so
that it works on both GTK# and WinForms?

Thanks

Tim
