This part is clear:

1. You can have a shared login (same $HOME), or

2. you can have a non-shared login (one $HOME), with many monitors,

and you want to have customization that is unique to users A and
B, or to sole user C's L & M monitors.

But - how can you solve this just with another configuration file,
in the same $HOME? Doesn't that end up to just a name change? If
you had files - .monitor-L, .monitor-M, .user-A, .user-B, I dig,
but with just another file? How does that work?
