Yeah, I think it just depends what you call desktop/enduser. I check
mail, surf web, listen to mp3s, write code. Can't think of what my audio
station doesn't do that I wish it did better ...
Hm, I guess I do use different users for irc than audio though, 'cause
I'm kinda lazy with audio so I just run as root for most purposes.

for audio stuff with Ardour/Jack/LADSPA).
I try to keep things in one maching, one boot, one login. Works quite
well...
I don't think desktop use needs any tuning, so I just set up stuff for
audio and open thunderbird to read mail when I need to...
