I believe you should be able to overwrite ~/.rssowl/user.xmlby copying it from
the desktop to the laptop, for instance. If you make changes in both sides and
do not synchronise often enough, you can then run 'diff'. Because of 
the nature
of XML, these should be very simple to merge, even automatically.
