http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/mcs/class/corlib/Microsoft.Win32/UnixRegistryApi.cs

shows that on line 563 & 564 the path to the registry is set to
~/.mono/registry

Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData should be used so that data is
stored in ~/.local/share/

Here's a small fix for this:

return Path.Combine (Environment.GetFolderPath
(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "mono/registry");
