Hi, Phil. Here are some starters: desktop icons: kde and gnome(>=2.4) both use ~/Desktop as the desktop. Drop the appropriate files in /etc/skel/Desktop to handle those icons Openoffice: the /usr/bin/openoffice scripts use the settings in /etc/openoffice/ to create new oo profiles. Not sure what you want to set there, but that's where you should start looking. GTK theme: create a /etc/skel/.gtkrc that contains the line "include /usr/share/themes/xxxx/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" where xxxx=the theme you want to use gnome defaults: most gnome apps use gconf (duck, Karsten's reading this thread :-). You'll probably want to read the gnome admin guide for info on setting default gconf values, especially this part: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/gconf-7.html That's about all I can help you with specifically. You're likely to have to deal with each application (or set of applications) in its own special way. -- Mark Roach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
