One-time copy can also be problematic if you are mutating the data in
real time as 'user' while running a program (that is interested in the
same data) as 'developer'.

This is not an entirely unrealistic use case.

Also, developer would be on separate dbus session bus from 'user' (UUIC).

Considering all of this, I'm inclined to wish we had a  "I know what
I'm using, please run this app as 'user'|" checkbox in Nokia Qt SDK.
