   Sorry if I have made a quantum leap in my reasoning, let ignore all 
suggestions made
for the time being :)

   So just go back to the start,

       1) Lessen the pain of sharing a homedir between simultaneous 
logins by
           saving apps configuration as atomic units. This then gives 
us the
          same hypothetically-broken-but-usually-OK behaviour as 
regular dotfiles.

	
	What are the probelms you are talking about? Apology if I have dragged 
the thread longer than it needs to.


 2) Performance improvements

   I like this bit :)
