Thanks. Yes, I guessed one could do some smoke and mirrors like that, 
but then you have to keep stopping one instance and starting the other 
to swap between them (and digikam's pretty slow starting up with a large 
collection) so that would be pretty painful!

Another way would be to run one within a virtual machine or as another 
user on the system but that's fairly horrible too!
