Hi,

In the beginning i'm sory for my very poor english.

I would change new default settings of session in LXDE for new users (i change windows to linux, and users are logging to domain NT such in windows). I haven't all accounts in everyone computer. I would change some settings (some shortcuts in desktop, other background and other color panel). I don't have acces to server, i can only change settings in client's computer.

gregor.

Hi,

well this is a bigger project (I never did something like this before). At first you should check if your loginmanager is able to do this (KDM and GDM can do, afaik) an then I would set up every pc to execute a bash script on login, which is setting everything what's needed. For example coping the settings files from "~/.config" to the local pc and change rights if you want to prevent users from change the settings (will still be temporally possible). I think that's possible to store the profiles of the users on a server, like with windows+server, but I don't know how to do this.

Well, hope this helped, somehow.
