On Red Hat 5.0, I could run 3 or 4 instances of OOo, each
under a different user ID. This probably was because I
logged in at the command line, rather than the GUI.  Every
screen required a  login. [I've forgotten what version of
OOo I used back then.]

If current Linux distros will boot to a command line, that
solution might work for you.  Just remember which user ID
has which OOo configuration.  Otherwise you'll have to log
in and out of the Graphical Interface.

Something else that _might_ work, would be to create a
profile that matches what you want, then copy
~/.openoffice.org2 to a different location.  Then change the
profile to your second choice, a copy it to a location, and
then create a third one.  Then write shell scripts that
deletes teh existing contents of ~/openoffice.org2, and
copies either the first, second, or third option over
~/.openoffice.org2/. Include a call to start OOo in teh
script. [In theory, this will also work for WinXP.  You
might need to download UnxUtils, for command-line tools that
work correctly.]
