Here's an issue I don't think I've seen come up since I've been trolling 
that is going to be a headache for me:

Say I have a user on a laptop, when he is constantly on the network, 
everything is happy.  Say the user goes home, does some work, monkeys 
around with his settings, and comes back.  As soon as said user logs on 
he gets the copy of his profile from the last time he logged off.  Does 
anyone else see the problem here?

I would like to know what creative solutions people have come up with to 
get around the issue.  We currently use 2.2.8 but I'm going to push 
3.0.x out Real Soon Now (TM), so if some negotiation has somehow been 
done in 3 to make this work better I'll shut up and go back to my hole.
