If you grep your gnome config files for your name, you'll find that your 
own directory structure is hard coded into them.  So, simply copying 
your stuff into /usr/shar/skel is not a good idea - because if one user 
changes a certain configuration option, it could change that feature for 
/all/ the users.  There needs to be some kind of 'transfer to so and so' 
option.  I was wondering if any work had been done on this, or if anyone 
had a workaround.
