I use a separate account not for the user data, but being able to rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*. Much nicer to test stuff when it is a different account. Drawback is that I don't like having my ssh private key on that account. Currently I use a hack that doesn't make sense (ssh agent forwarding).

I mainly use jhbuild to get a good stacktrace / test a patch. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
