Technically nearly anything, which is a part of GNOME. Practically:
- session splash
- GDM since GNOME 2.22
- theme (but is must be in sync with gtk2-branding package)
- default background (but it needs tweaking of SuSE-specific
  4:3/widescreen magic in /usr/bin/gnome.
- default panel and applet configuration
- default session elements
...

I have already submitted changed gconf2 package.

Preliminary gconf2-branding-openSUSE package was submitted to BETA and
refers most keys in patches from
http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Projects/SchemasChanges

It needs to review each of these patches and:
- drop it if it only changes default look'n'feel
- keep it if it makes OpenSUSE usable (sets system paths)
- keep it and remove from gconf2-branding-openSUSE if it is feature
  patch

First version of patch for gconf2-editor, which will allow to modify
Vendor Defaults is ready:
Bug 522055 – Support for vendor defaults settings
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522055

I am going to submit it to the Factory.
