IME, they warn you if it's going to be a problem. I know kmail does. If they 
don't, it's a bug and should be reported. The worst you should get is that 
whichever the last one is to close will be the one to have its settings 
saved.

They shouldn't have problems. The configs are typically text-based, so 
different architectures don't conflict with one another.
