One approach is not to worry too much about per user config. Just take an
image of the users folder when everything is how you want it and restore
that when they log off or reboot - which ever is most appropriate. Reboot
is probably good as then people can have reasonable trust if they reboot
it.

Alternatively look at what Kai has done or other Kiosk distros - don't try
and do it manually you'll make a mistake and folks will get angry/owned
etc.
