Problem is that there is no guarantee that old settings will work, can be

This is the single most disadvantage of /home on a separae partition.

I suggest you another approach. Keep all your data, in another partition
and
blow away /home every time you reinstall. /home is not the only place a
non-root user can have access to..

Keeping a separate /home partition and removing all the hidden files just
before reinstalling a new OS will solve the problem of inconsistencies in
the settings I think. I am more inclined to this approach rather than
maintaining another partition and mounting it under a non-root folder.
Thanks for the suggestion.
