[Evolution] Mulitple IDs

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm htt-consult com>]

Well I answered part of my directories question by doing a lot of 
INternet searching.

I see where Evolution places its data in a hidden directory: ~/.evolution

Now why it is felt necessary to put all of this stuff in hidden 
directories is beyond me.

So it would seem that Evolution is treating each useid as a 
personality for the logged in user.

I wonder could I create some other user IDs, grant privileges to my 
ID and run additonal copies of Evolution pointing to those directories?

Or do I somehow have to have multiple simultaneous logins?
