You can actually setup SQL Developer to startup with only the preferences AND connections you want. So you could have different desktop shortcuts setup per client, with a call to sqldev as sqldeveloper -Dide.home=/path/to/A ... That way if you're at AT&T you don't get any funny looks when someone's over your shoulder and notices you have a connection called 'Verizon' I could write that up in a blog post if that would help.
