The workaround of setting MONO_SHARED_DIR does not work for mdtool. mdtool
needs to create the file ~/.config/MonoDevelop. For some reason, mdtool
ignores the settings of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, $XDG_DATA_DIRS or even $HOME when
looking where to write this file. Regardless of the setting it still ends up
putting it in the home dir setting of the fist instance of the user's UID in
/etc/passwd, which ends up to be that of nobody which is '/'. Setting the env
var $LOGNAME does work in this case but I think that's just a weird workaround.
Regardless of any shortcomings Mono might have in wanting to write to the home
dir of the user running the build process, the real fix for the broken build
system is to have the scripts use a different UID for the user abuild than one
that already exists on the system.
