It's possible, but the differences in the settings files between
different versions of gnome for example could quickly cause issues or
at least confusion.

What I'd do if I wanted something like that is make a partition for
the standard folders inside of home
e.g. put Documents, Desktop, Pictures etc on a separate partiton, and
symlink them into the home folder of each distro.
The settings I'd be worried about sharing are all in ~/.something
files or folders and that way would still be unique per distro.
