I've run multi-boot systems too, and I shied away from sharing my home
directory between them - there was too much risk of different versions of,
say, kmail running in the two systems and clobbering each other's data. So
I created a ~/common/ partition for things I wanted to be always available.
I still operate that way, even though I haven't made much use of any other
distros in the last year or two.
