All these: - GNOME - KDE - Firefox - Chrome/Chromium - pidgin - vim - emacs support different: - configurations - customizations - themes with central package management ...per user. (Mozilla even had multiple user profile support within a single user. I'm not sure if Firefox still has that or has since dropped it.) Sure, they had to be designed to support that, but it's hardly impossible. If you're saying that arbitrary code modifications can't be supported that way, that's of course true -- but now we're back to talking about different versions (just unofficial and from local patching). -- Scott
