The ~/.wapi directory is used to keep a shared-state file across
various Mono processes.  In the .NET Framework, handles for threads,
events, files, sockets and synchronization primitives is shared across
the space of all the applications running on it.

To make this work, it is necessary to keep this state on a separate
process
