In a multiuser setup, which Desktop folder on
that other volume would you integrate?

Multiuser scenarios that may come in the next year (or two
or three, who knows) are interesting, but I think it would
be better to ourselves more with not inconveniencing users
today. :)
I don't pretend to know every BeOS/Haiku user out there
but I can't imagine removing desktop integration would
inconvenience a large number of people as long as desktops
folders are shown by default. Even if it would inconvenience
a few current BeOS users I think it's the right thing to do.
I am not aware of an attribute-related issue: what exactly
happens if you were to show a Desktop folder now?
Tracker does a good job at suppressing the /boot/home/Desktop
but you can try a desktop folder off any other volume, e.g.
from Terminal:
$> open /SomeVolume/home/Desktop
You will get a fullscreen Tracker window, where the borders
are offscreen. You can use the resize-knob though. Not the
best user experience. (One of the few drawbacks of storing a
window's properties as attributes on the actual folder.)
