If you're root, you can type su - phablet to the same effect, I
believe. If there's a significant difference, I'd certainly like to
learn about it.

I'm running and debugging QML-related applications on the phone
without having the application completely ready yet. Although it
sounds sane to recommend that people prepare all the details
(application, desktop file, upstart job, etc) ahead of time, it's also
nice for a developer that wants to get acquainted with the platform a
non-painful path for experimentation. Under the Ubuntu desktop, people
can simply login, run qmlscene against a file, and have a fine
application running, and that feels good.
