Ah, there are lots of settings. Thanks for your comprehensive summary!

I have one more questions, though: I refer to configure my systems on
command line (via a system similar to cfengine), so I used gconftool
to set the values. But contrary to gconf-editor, gconftool don't seem
to have the possibility to make a setting default/mandatory for all users.

What am I missing?
