That is bug in Mono's registry API.

https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/Microsoft.Win32/Registry.cs#L96
that true means it wants write-access
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/Microsoft.Win32/RegistryKey.cs#L269
it should passing "setting" there, instead of true hardcoded

With this bug, Registry.GetValue() needs write perms on Mono

This issue will be fixed with Mono 3.12, if Smuxi should include a workaround or not needs to be decided.
