My guess would be that it puts a dot file in your user account on first run that manages prefs and registration info. Since you don't run it as root, no .file, same for all other users. Still leaves it as being a pain in the tookus to set it up as multiple users, but i'm curious... It's been a

Well now i'm curious. If you su, then cd ~ then pwd, it doesn't switch you to the root home account? I just setup dsl in a virtual machine and tried it, the home directory changes to match root when su'd. not su -. If nothing else, check your system variables, for me, after su, my HOME variable
