I second the above.  SpecialFolder.Personal is especially problematic as there
is no other good locale-neutral way to retrieve the user's Documents folder
path.

Bug 537947 (resolved) addresses this issue for MonoTouch.

Bug 597907 (not resolved) addresses this issue for OS X.

In my view, the fix for SpecialFolder.Personal should be in
mcs/class/corlib/System/Environment.cs to change from this:


            // personal == ~
            case SpecialFolder.Personal:
#if MONOTOUCH
                return Path.Combine (home, "Documents");
#else
                return home;
#endif


to this:


            case SpecialFolder.Personal:
#if MONOTOUCH
                return Path.Combine (home, "Documents");
#else
                return ReadXdgUserDir (config, home, "XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR",
"Documents");
#endif
