Create a new dummy user, modify its settings to your liking and cherry-pick the changes from .config and .gconf, place them into
/etc/skel
. Keep the directory structure intact, e.g. copy:/home/dummyuser/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml
to:/etc/skel/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml
Note:
gconf-editor
and try to locate the settings that interest you. The tree structure maps directly to the files involved.
