To get 90% of it working though, just make a user and set up the workstation exactly as you would like it to be for all, then as root type: cp -fpr /home/username/* /etc/skel/ the /etc/skel/ directory is what is copied into a new user's home directory when running adduser and/or useradd. Some applications use the actual username in part f their configuration - like for instance KMail. For this you'll have to write a post-useradd script to touch up these files.
