I don't know about this, I have to try it out. You might be able
to specify -Duser.home="D:\my\home\dir" on the command line that you
use to launch the browser.

identitydb.obj is the Identity Database. In the file
$JDK_DISTRIB/lib/security/java.security, add the line

identity.database=/my/identity/db/dir

$JDK_DISTRIB is the directory where JDK is installed.

I need to try this out with the activator on a PC and doublecheck
the details. Just wanted to send you a quick hint in case that helps.
