[Mono-list] Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments question

[Ian Norton]

AIUI there is no hard and fast rule over what these resolve to on each linux
distro.

On my debian system I have:

                         Desktop  = /home/inb/Desktop
                        Programs  =
                     MyDocuments  = /home/inb
                     MyDocuments  = /home/inb
                       Favorites  =
                         Startup  =
                          Recent  =
                          SendTo  =
                       StartMenu  =
                         MyMusic  = /home/inb/Music
                DesktopDirectory  = /home/inb/Desktop
                      MyComputer  =
                       Templates  = /home/inb/Templates
                 ApplicationData  = /home/inb/.config
            LocalApplicationData  = /home/inb/.local/share
                   InternetCache  =
                         Cookies  =
                         History  =
           CommonApplicationData  = /usr/share
                          System  =
                    ProgramFiles  =
                      MyPictures  = /home/inb/Pictures
              CommonProgramFiles  =

All except the AppliationData ones are likley to be different from one
linux system to another.
