For most users that's true. But some people (including me) have switched the home and MyDocs partitions. Except for the very few cases of taking photos with my N900 I practically don't use MyDocs.
But these are special cases and Maemo's home can still be mounted elsewhere.

Theoretically yes. For example I have Chromium installed in ED and Maemo and since the ED version is newer the Maemo version always complains about some incompatibilities (but otherwise works fine).

the binary but LXDE wouldn't want to update it's icon nor change orientation when clicked on...
What happens if you call /usr/bin/orientation manually from within roxterm?

Basically all you have to do is mount it somewhere just like it is done in ED. Suppose you want to mount it to /mnt in your chroot and your chroot directory is /home/user/chroot just run this in Maemo:
Code:
mount -o bind /home/user/MyDocs /home/user/chroot
