Hi bk,
Didn't check back right away, I was busy converting my
Linuxbox from openSUSE to Debian
(Too much Novell corporate involvement w/ openSUSE)

Glad to see your messing with Linux and breaking things,
there is no better way to learn!!

I think these 2 partial quotes from the Window Manager thread
ties in fairly well here, espically when changing things under a certain user.

You are correct, you don't need another user,
I just always use one for testing different Desktop Environments/Window Managers.
You never know what's going to happen when you fire up a new
DE/WM, you might even corrupt the user's GUI profile.
Better safe than sorry, adding and deleting a new user is easy,
fixing a corrupted profile isn't quite as easy.
