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.
