    Does anyone know of any way to configure Gnome2 and/or KDE so they
    write all of their "dot" files/dirs (eg. .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf,
    .kde, etc...) to some directory other than $HOME? We are trying to
    share a common home directory across Linux and Solaris systems and
    we are finding that these dot files are rather incompatible between
    the two. If I could get, for example, Gnome2 on the Linux systems
    to use something like $HOME/.Linux/.gnome instead of $HOME/.gnome
    I'd be set.

    Thanks!
