We're now in the final stages of preparation for our rollout of 123 ltsp 
clients.

The machines are using kde 3 configured to look and feel as close to windows 
as we can get it in order to minimise any potential hostility to the 
migration.

What I'd like to do to ensure that users get a uniform and 'non-broken' 
desktop environment when they log in is to copy enough stuff into their home 
directory at login to ensure their desktop, menus, panel etc are what we 
would like them to be. Sadly, this seems to be a little more complicated than 
just copying in a set of files from a 'golden' user's home directory as many 
of the config files (e.g. konquerors file management profile) have hard wired 
paths to the 'golden' user's home directory. Another problem we have is that 
even if we copy across the OpenOffice directory from a user who has already 
run through the open office network workstation installation, the first time 
the new user runs an open office component, they have to go through the setup 
process.

I suspect that someone on the list must have been here before and got it 
sorted.

Advice please :)

Cheers
