I use two users. Then I change the permisions (acl, actually) so that the 
photos have rw permission for the group, and both users belong to that 
group.

There is another problem: moving the photos from one user to another does 
not copy any of the tags or comments, despite the setting be to save them 
on the photos. So I have to copy, not move, manually apply tags and 
comments, then delete in "from" folder.
