First off, I assume you use a different user id on each terminal (else you probably will run into trouble sooner or later...). In that case, you would NOT restore them from the client side (1st this might be unreliable, 2nd this runs over the network, 3rd this requires /home to be exported r/w which would not be necessary for regular operation unless using local apps). In that case, make a file /etc/xinitrd or similar (rtfm for details) which restores the home directories from /etc/skel/ - that should do the trick. xinitrc is called on every login, for the user just logging in.
