+Summary: Application.UserAppDataPath and LocalUserAppDataPath need to use subfolders
+
+To match .NET semantics, Application.UserAppDataPath and
+Application.LocalUserAppDataPath need to return paths that are specific to
+the application being run.  Right now (in the SVN repository) they just
+return ~/.config and ~/.local/share. 
+
+From the documentation:
+
+  If a path does not exist, one is created in the following format:
+
+  Base Path\ CompanyName\ ProductName\ ProductVersion 
+
+All of those properties are already implemented, so this should be easy to
+implement.  
+
+We need this so that multiple applications don't clobber each other's
+configuration files.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Ximian")]
+[assembly: AssemblyProduct("TestMono")]
+[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.54")]
+
+Console.WriteLine(Application.UserAppDataPath)
+Console.WriteLine(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath)
+
+Actual Results:
+/home/rscaletta/.config
+/home/rscaletta/.local/share
+
+Expected Results:
+/home/rscaletta/.config/Ximian/TestMono/1.0.0.54
+/home/rscaletta/.local/share/Ximian/TestMono/1.0.0.54
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time.
