Finally solved my dilemma with a simple and elegant solution.

Scenario - desire to dual-boot between FC7 & Feisty using same profile
for consistency of Bookmarks, Documents etc.

Solution - create the same username in both OS's, just make sure that
the UID is the same - FC defaults to 500 and up, Feisty defaults to
1000 and up, just make sure that username and UID are the same on both
sides.

That's it, nothing else to do. Simple and elegant, works like a charm,
all permissions are normal, no security issues I can see.

Cheers and thanks to those who responded to my improperly/poorly
described problem (see was in subj above), they started me to thinking
how best to do this.
