I wish I could provide with a "simpler" way to do this. Maybe write a
simple script to run and toggle gsettings settings to do the usual
customizations you do after installing computers?

Are you sure those are really not from hardware issues? Lockups are
very unfrequently caused by software (unless of course it's unstable
kernel drivers).

I'd be interested to know about it. What drivers or applications could
be causing these lockups? Please try to file a bug in Launchpad if you
can figure out what's breaking :)
