Secondly configuration files placed. If /home is shared between two distros, then configuration files will be confusing for apps. if there versions are different. Say .xfigrc of RHL may not be parsable by xfig in debian. Atul Chitnis wrote this in one of his articles in PCQ. I remember that very clearly because I burnt my hands between RHL and slack as X refused to start( or something severe like that. Don't remember exactly...)
