Is it safe for a single user to run simultaneously two different instances of 
GC on two different books?

If so, what settings are shared between them and therefore must be the same?  I 
can think of all the general settings, which mostly seem to be preferences 
about overall features like whether or not to use formal or informal names.  I 
would expect no conflict as these are preferences of the individual GC user and 
stored within a user-specific directory. Have I missed anything here or 
misinterpreted this?

However, I can think of one preference that is not like that: the root 
directory for associated documents.  I believe this is also a user-specific 
setting not a book-specific one (please correct me if that has been changed, 
which I eagerly wish for).  If so, then the two instances are forced to have 
documents in the same directory, something that might or might not be 
appropriate.  Are there any other settings like this that would interact 
(possibly poorly) between two distinct instances of GC?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
