Sure, no problem with that.
What I'm doing is using the NETENV_SCRIPT-variable to run a perl-script. That
script does all the stuff like using the right XF86Config or gpm.conf.
Right now I have a script for every netenv-environment which seems some kind of
odd to me - if I need a script for every environment anyway I sould be able to
integrate it in netenv itself.
That's why I'm actually thinking of replacing netenv. I guess the basic idea is
quite okay but I need my profiles to be a lot more diversified (e.g. sometimes
I have an ext. mouse or need MySQL, ...)
So when switching profiles (especially at runtime) I don't want to go through
the whole startup-process - I just want to make small changes. For
accomplishing this, I have to keep track of the current state of the machine.
These are just my rough thoughts, feel free to tear them down or bring in new
ones.

And that would be greatly appreciated. After staying in Canada for half a year
now I'm heading home to Germany next week. So right now I'm a *little* bit busy
getting all my stuff in bags and packs ... Feel free to contact me via eMail
but it might take some time for me to respond.
Bye,
Tobias
PS: I don't know which eMail-address of mine you have but
tobias@bachmor.de
is a safe one.
