So, in a postulated, but as yet hypothetical future opensolaris
system that has both GNOME and KDE, what happens in my home dir
when I switch back and forth between the two? I *hope* I don't
end up with two parallel directory sets, one for each desktop
flavor: "I downloaded it onto my Desktop under KDE and it isn't
there anymore after I go back to GNOME" is the behavior that really
should be avoided...

It would really be nice (TM) if we could get all these @#...@$%
features to put their crap^H^H^H^H config files one level deeper
under a common .desktop or .gnome or .whatever parent. so my
home dir doesn't end up with hundreds of opaque pieces of trash
that some stupid application decided to leave behind. Better yet
would be a way to not need the files in the first place.
(My homedir today has over 200 "dotfiles" in it - and I have no
real idea whether any of them are optional or obsolete and can be
deleted or if my desktop/session will die a horrible death if I
so much as touch them...
