Nope, these are distinct apps and needs and whatnot...

Yes you do.

Why so ?

You don't need any of these three methods - your current
implementation just duplicate what would happen without them.

I personnaly don't use a ModelForm for user profiles - since you
(usually) have to mix&match data from both the user and profile
models, I find it simpler to use a plain forms.Form and handle the
fields/models mapping, saving etc by myself

(snip form's code - not sure whether it's ok)

You should have a full traceback, it might help if you post it so we
know where the exception is raised. But from your code and the error
message, I'd say the problem is somewhere in your template (wild
guess...).
