How to copy menus and application settings between users ?

[Jordan Erickson]

Sergio,

You might want to check out the "edubuntu-menus" package. I haven't 
looked at it yet but it is said to aid in customizing xdg menus based on 
groups.

I also created this page, which is probably the "hard way" compared to 
using the edubuntu-menus packages, but I'll give you that option too.

Re: other user settings, /etc/skel is a good place to start. You can 
always create "template" dot-file configs in there, and all newly 
created users will have it copied when created.


HTH,
Jordan/Lns
