Something I've wondered about doing this:
/home doesn't only contain data files created by the user. There are
also many hidden files created by the system and programs, usually in
the root of the user's home directory. For example: .config and
.gconf.

If one were to install a new distribution, or even just a newer
release of the same distribution, and then simply re-mount the /home
partition afterwards, might not there possibly be some problems with
these hidden files containing incorrect information? Do most programs
that create these files sort things out for themselves?
