In theory yes. We support the freedesktop directory standards and 
additionally we have a bunch of other environment variables to make this 
possible. Assuming you have dbus set up correctly and shared between 
users, it should work. Alternatively using direct access is interesting. 
We use a set location per user for that, so we would have to make some 
changes for that to be possible. It might be possible to symlink the 
directories to a global location, but as said, this is not a usual 
request and it hasn't been tried.

If you get it working, let us know :)
