+Summary: gmcs assumes bad home directory for user 0 (often root, but sometimes not)
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When gmcs is used in a fakeroot environnement, it will try to write in
+/root/.wapi but it is forbidden. Instead it should write in $HOME/.wapi
+where $HOME is not /root, but the real HOME directory of the user running
+fakeroot.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Log in as normal user (id != 0 , $HOME != /root , /root is not writable
+by the user)
+2. run fakeroot (now id report 0 , but $HOME is not changed)
+3. compile some code with gmcs (failing source code is in the next message)
+
+Actual Results:
+gmcs will fail in trying to write in /root/.wapi 
+
+Expected Results:
+gmcs should write in $HOME/.wapi
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always ( with source file included )
+
+Additional Information:
+I'm not a C# coder, so I join the source file (from Desktop Drapes) to
+check if it's a problem with this specific file or with every file.
+
+fakeroot is a needed tool to compile programs for Archlinux with makepkg.
+It's designed for not having to be root to make installable packages, and
+with mono, I HAVE to be root which is a major problem.
+
+Here is the compilation process:
