If I add the following to the XML manifest:

    <AssemblyPart x:Name="System.Windows.Controls.Data" 
Source="System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll" />
    <AssemblyPart x:Name="System.Windows.Controls" 
Source="System.Windows.Controls.dll" />
    <AssemblyPart x:Name="System.Windows.Controls.Extended" 
Source="System.Windows.Controls.Extended.dll" />

(Taken from the Silveright controls examples) I *still* can't import 
WatermarkTextBox or Button... I know that it is using this manifest 
because errors in it are reported - or crash IE! :-o

Any other suggestions?
