I tend to use only one user account for myself and my wife uses one. I have always worn glasses and my progressive lens are such that my left eye's prescription is for monitor use while the right is for books and such. I love running my monitor at 2018x1152. My wife doesn't wear glasses even though she really should. So, she wants hers at a lower resolution. On my test system, where I have various user accounts that I use for various things I want to have a system wide default. For that, I rely on the xorg.conf to provide that and never have to invoke user preferences. On the WinXP system also share you are constrained to system wide settings. We are constantly chiding each other to change the settings back to the other's settings. Kind of like the toilet seat.... :-)
