Good afternoon Ralf, thank you for your response,

UbuntuStudio 12.04 - Guest Session Login.  From the login screen, guest 
logs in, and the default theme, background and launchers on desktop 
remain the same for each login on the guest account.  I want to change 
the settings of that account (e.g. place specific launchers on the 
desktop, open the launcher automatically so a non-linux user doesn't 
have to 'find it', theme and font changes, etc.)  When they log out, all 
settings return to default for the next session, but I want the settings 
mentioned above to remain for the next login.

I like that the guest account does not require a password and sets up 
home in /tmp, making visitors access easy and less trouble for me, but I 
want to change the way it looks and make some changes... i can find 
'workarounds' for the themes and so forth, but I want to do it correctly 
and know how to add launchers that will remain for the next login
