As a desktop app developer, would you target Mac OS and Linux?

With hollow-point ammunition, definitely.

We target Mac. Linux users have no money, or, at least, prefer not to pay for software

There's a nugget for all you s/w developers right there.

Linux for the servers and Windows for the client, it's driven by customer demand. If someone decides to pay for a mac front end, we'll develop it.

If I were creating an app targeting home users, I'd use Silverlight (unless I had a need for something it didn't offer). That would allow it to run on Windows and Macs, I wouldn't worry about Linux in that market.

A quite reasonable approach. Especially if you have to earn a living by this. Cheers!

No, but, as a C# developer, I would try to write pure .Net so that my apps would run under Mono with little or no effort.
Doesn't mono use it's own (GTK based??) UI library instead of winforms/wpf?

If your application is in the multimedia/sound/graphic domain :probably yes. (for example lightroom (photo), traktor (dj), resolume (vj) ) if not : no.
Watched code never compiles.

There is a bit of a terminology issue here, I think. System.Windows.Forms (and whatever the WPF one is called, as well, I think) has been translated for Mono so that it works with the native operating system window manager. So from a .Net developer perspective, you don't need to do anything different, except allow for different control styles as the UI themes are different.

I think I'm just out of date. Gtk#[^] is one of mono's UI libraries, and the history[^] for mono's winform library includes two initial failed attempts, implying it was a relative latecomer to the platform (although specific dates aren't given anywhere I can see).

I would think a 50 cal. sniper scope would do the job nicely?
