Shimano 9/10 sp component cross compatibility

Afternoon all
I did a quick search on this and came up dry, although I'm *sure* it must have been covered in the past so probably my search-fu isn't very good
what I'm after is advice on cross compatibility between 9 and 10sp components.
Specifically;
I know that 10 sp chains are nominally narrower than 9sp, but is it enough to preclude the use of 9sp chainrings in an otherwise 10sp setup?
Will a 9sp (shimano) derraleur work with a shimano 10sp cassette & shifter? Especially thinking of using a low normal (Rapid Rise) 9sp derralier in a 10sp setup

Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day

Having confirmed that the front shifter I bought is 2/3 sp switchable the crank seems not a problem but it seems that after a decade and a half of being a Rapid rise fanboi I am going to have to relearn how to shift gears. Cue much swearing and creaking of knees at the bottom of climbs

The only reason I thought of it actually was an answer to a letter in some MTB rag which suggested swapping shifters and cassette to 10sp but neglected to mention the der. "oh" I thought "perhaps I can stick with RR for one more round"
but no, it seems not
