I wonder if a hierarchical approach is in order as many of the settings
may be completely the same for all users and it would be desirable to
centrally manage them.  The KDE KIOSK is a good model where settings can
be set centrally, environment variables can be substituted, settings can
be locked, but, if they are not locked, they can be overridden locally
with the most local version taking priority.  Just a thought.  I share
