So does all mono compiled applications for unix/mac. It's just an extension. It might be what you have said, but unless verified. It isn't. Picasa for example is emulated through wine on Linux/Mac, but that's because it was developed originally for Win32.

It's not correct to say that Picasa is emulated using wine. Instead, it's a native Linux app that has been ported using WineLib, which reimplements a lot of the Windows API, but compiled to Linux. Instead of replacing API calls with the Linux equivalents, there's just an additional layer that redirect calls or implements them. Wine and WineLib are different things.
