This kind of stuff needs to be package, IMHO with a GUI, and put on
ProSuite or similar, so that corporates can also do this kind of thing.
draksplash etc are nice, but how about a gui where you just choose your
company logo (for KDM screen, screensaver etc), background (?dm
backgrounds, bootsplash etc), select your template config files, and
generate an RPM?

We have an rpm we use for desktop machines, which on %post does a number
of operations (add urpmi update source, add NFS mounts to fstab,
installs bootsplash theme, and updates many config files). If a company
then also had a urpmi repository (marked as update source), they would
only need to update the rpm, and have the automagic updates (see urpmi
evangelism thread) pull it in the next morning.
