[Mono-list] Reading properties from Properties.Settings.Default throws ConfigurationErrorsException

[Garland]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make an application which is developed with Visual
Studio 2005/2008 working with mono. Besides the few P/Invokes problems
which I expected, there is an other problem I do not know how to fix:

Everytime the application tries to read a user setting like in the
following example

if (Properties.Settings.Default.AutoMaximize)
WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

the application terminates and mono writes something like the
following to the error output:



Unhandled Exception:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: There is an error
in a configuration setting. () ()

  at System.Configuration.CustomizableFileSettingsProvider.LoadPropertyValue

Surprisingly I was unable to found much information online, neither
about how good mono's support for this
Properties.Settings.Default-thing is at the moment nor about why i
might get this exception or what to do. Can somebody help me?
