This works for a user that is already created and I can find that 'random
string of characters' directory. If I don't know what the directory is
going to be, it doesn't help me when I want to put something in /etc/skel.

Which is what I thought making changes in files in
/usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref would do, but it doesn't seem to work.

Sort of, but it looks like galeon puts it homepage setting in a gconf
subdirectory. I found an xml file, ~/.gconf/apps/galeon/%gconf.xml, that
seems to do the trick.
I'm not really worried about Netscape 6, since that beast is too big to
put on the low end machines I'm working with.
