Just to follow up on this. I've tried this on not encountered any
problems ...

but ...

I've been reading in the docs
( https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html ) about
the purpose and location of some of the config files that are
maintained in the user's home directory, e.g. 

~/.config/digikamrc
~/.config/digikam_systemrc
~/.cache/digikam
~/.local/share/digikam
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam/digikamui5.rc

and decided there are too many 'known unknowns' for me.

It's been an interesting experiment and it can probably be made to work
but I'm sticking with a single OS install (even though both OS's are
Linux).
