In fact rvm download a ruby source code selected by the choice's user,
compile and install it in the user home. Gem are installed also in the
user's home and in the .rvm directory.

So when you use rvm --default ruby-1.8.7 you switch ruby version and gem
directory. Unless modify rvm deeper, I do not know how use rvm in a
system wide with multi-user account.
Maybe by using /var/lib instead of ~/.rvm and change symlink of ruby and
gem's path when root use rvm --default
