           Summary: When user.config is still not created, calling only
                    Settings.Default.Save() makes Mono create a
                    user.config file, which has all settings empty.

 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=352564)
A simple application, with which you can immediately reproduce the problem.

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)
AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Iron/3.0.197.0 Safari/532.0

IMPORTANT: My settings are in a class library project, which is referenced by a
Windows Forms project. If the settings were in a lonely Windows Forms project
then everything is fine.

Steps: OK, so I run the Windows Forms project(which is referencing a class
library one with the settings) and see that the setting is displayed properly.
I have a button which calls only Settings.Default.Save(). I press it, and after
that I close the application and run it again. The setting is now empty. I have
attached the executables.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a settings file in a class library project, which is referenced by a
Windows Forms one.
2.On the first run of the application, call only Settings.Default.Save();
3.Immediately after that, user.config is created with empty tags for the
settings.
Actual Results:  
A user.config is created with empty tags for the settings.

Expected Results:  
A user.config should be created containing the default values of the settings.

I am writing this, because it can help you to identify the bug faster. On
running the application for the first time, if "Settings.Default.Font =
Settings.Default.Font" is called before "Settings.Default.Save()", then
everything works OK.
