a bit late in the game, but just to throw in another approach.
have you thought about using a linux virtual machine via virtualbox (or similar)? you can then target the platform (and distro if you need to) that your code is most likely to run on without regard for your desktop environment. its also straight forward to share the files from or to the VM, so you can edit them as if they were local on your desktop.
This is actually a great approach and one I have used in the past to avoid the constant overhead and filesystem pollution of setting up and running a full development environment on my laptops. Its a little heavier when its in use but it sure packs away nicely :). -mf
