What are your issues with the second and third points? Software
installation has been discussed a lot, and I thought the current scheme
(installation into a shared area) was broadly accepted by the experiments,
although not necessarily all the sysadmins.
On the last point, you don't *need* VO-specific services, but CERN is in
fact running brokers and bdiis for the LHC VOs and you can add
non-standard sites to the bdii if you want. UIs are generally a site-level
or user-level thing, you should be able to put the UI software on your
laptop or desktop machine.

You can submit jobs through globus-job-submit, but what would be the
advantage?
