I haven't looked into this yet, just thinking out loud - what issues might there be in sharing a homedir (via NFS) between multiple versions of e.g. KDE?
We have KDE3, 4 and -5 for instance.
All on the same machine or across a network? Not that it makes too much difference. A user's home directory nowadays typically has lots of .directories that are specific to particular versions of particular desktops and applications. So except if you want to do a one-time upgrade from one version of a desktop to the next version, it's not wise to share a home directory. Instead have an individual home directory for each version and have a separate home-data directory mounted elsewhere. Then create symlinks in each home directory into subdirectories of the home-data directory to access your files. Some apps may need special consideration: you'll need to craft an individual solution for whichever mail client you use if you want to share that among desktops, for example.
