What about doing an ugly workaround, and configure one Linux/KDE-account 
for each of the two localities. Then use KDM to logon with one of the 
accounts, and use the console and ssh -X to have a shell with the other 
account/environment. Would this work?
The drawback would be, that your emails would be split between the two 
accounts. The same goes for the browserbookmarks etc.
