Ok, found time to test it on two clients, seems to work. Thank you 
Myrosia and Martin (btw. the path in SUSE is /usr/share/kde4/env/).

To work means: I can start kdepim/kaddressbook with akonadi in several 
clients, but of course new records only show up on the client on wich 
they have been created.

But it is a workaround which might give us time to search for a solution 
in the long run.

Hasn't happened here yet.

Main reasons: Too much data per user to shovel around (up to GB per 
user/session ). Same problem here like with nfs, how to deal with two 
running seasons.

I am hoping to find out a way to take over exising sessions, like the 
way it happens with windows server when you log on.

Cheerz,
Lars
