Your solution automates the "symbolic link" solution proposed earlier... with
the same problems:
1) Forces *completely* different setups (no shared configs)
2) Does not account for simultaneous logins on multiple machines
You could use the KDECONFIGPATH solution in your setup by changing only
a few lines!

That is a pretty slick way of automating things, though!
