I one time saw a talk where they discussed the issue of having to make sure the mouse was in the same location on logout and login for his home slab and later dell laptop.

NeXT rendering engine was display postscript and they had a common set-up of rendering the DPS on a remote computer while logged in over a network. The overall set-up meant that all the data was at headquarters and users could login in from any location and have a local DPS rendering of the centralized user account.
