It's prudent to check your disk free space too - running out of disk space in the middle of a demo is embarrassing. Also, some desktops pop up distracting warnings when disk space is getting low.

Have you considered making some software/package to automate this setup? I would like to use these methods but I am too lazy to setup a new account manually.

This setup is pretty much a one-off for me (until I reinstall my laptop of course), so I haven't yet felt the need to automate any of this.

I have been using a seperate X session for presentations, but having large fonts for terminal, editor and browser by default makes a convincing argument for a separate account.
