Changing the standard desktop (KDE)

Greetings!

It has fallen upon me to standardize the platform used by my employer.  
Previously they had been using a Debian/SID KDE combination, which was 
fine, but time consuming. because of the time involved upgrading it to a 
modern platform (release as Woody at the time.)

Since I have started, I adopted Kubuntu for ease of installation, up to 
date packages and the interface is much less cluttered than the default 
KDE installation, (who need 6 shells installed).  The end-user 
experience is great.

My last issue is this:  I want to make a standardized desktop for new 
users created ont he machines with customized icons on the desktop, 
maybe in the KDE menu as well.   I  am trying to locate the script or 
directory that KDE uses, but I am not able to locate it.

If someone could point me to a HOWTO, or give me some direction, this 
would save me a lot of deployment time, as right now I have to hand 
craft the standard everytime.

One other thing that would make thing easier would be a script to add a 
set of printers to KDE automatically.  This is less important however.

Thanks in advance,

Will
