OTHER COMMENTS:

I understand that having more then the 'user' user account on a N8x0 is not
actually supported. But the file /etc/osso-af-init/osso-gtk.defs makes a
hardcoded assumption that 'user' is the only one, when there is no real reason
why it can't at least work if another user logs in.

I have modified my osso-gtk.defs to change the line:
HOME=/home/user  ;# needed for some root processes

to:
HOME=/home/$USER  ;# needed for some root processes

And now it works for more then just 'user'.
