I would try it right now, but
a) the only proper 'desktop' I have running is a windows box, the rest
of my systems, netbook, laptops, and servers, are stripped down to the
bare essentials and are likely to continue skipping along smoothly for
a long while regardless of what I do to them, hardly a useful test for
something that could potentially cause catastrophic breakage for more
'normal' systems, and
b) if it *did* break, I would dread it as I went about trying to
remember my exact steps to get there after I wake up tomorrow,
especially with the fact that I'm aiming to head to the office when I
wake, rather than toy around with fixing things here at home.
Maybe tomorrow evening on a couple systems, if the idea itself doesn't
bring about any "don't do this, you'll break <x>" responses between
now and then (and, depending on the severity of the potential
breakage, may still have to poke it with a stick).
