You can also easily setup userland installations. (userland:=normal user)
Both GNOME and KDE tend to start many userland deamons (i.e. for
the virtual filesystem). Assuming normal workstations only have one
concurrent desktop user, having another postmaster running shouldn't
be such a mess.
But for such use-cases you'll probably dont need many of pgsql's
features, i.e. rules, triggers, stored procedures, etc, so a really
lightweight RDBMS would probably perform better here.
