Multiple Client environments

Hi,

I manage a debian server which offers NTFS /home mounts to
mixed debian and Ubuntu clients.

It would be nice to have separated gconf trees for ubuntu and debian
inside each NTFS exported /home to fix small issues, like
the different audio setup programs in debian vs ubuntu.

Is it such a split possible? How can I tell gnome to read from different
configuration paths, like ~/.gconf_ubuntu and ~/.gconf_debian

Cheers
