I do this often, and have no problems. Why? Because the apps I use (in 
this example Mozilla Firefox), supports just like Lazarus a parameter to 
say which "profile directory to use". So when I run Firefox 3.x in uses 
the default profile directory. When I run Firefox 4.x beta, it uses the 
profile directory I specified in the command line (or in the desktop 
shortcut settings).

I do the exact same thing with Lazarus (trunk) and Lazarus 0.9.30.x 
(fixes). I don't have any problems.... so I'm a bit confused really what 
this whole message thread is all about. Have two or more desktop 
icons... each pointing to a specific version of lazarus, and each with a 
--pcp parameter.
