Are you prepared to enforce that "agreement" by banning people who
continue to responde to threads that are off-topic?  I'm prepared to
"agree" to not post on a thread that has received a postisofftopic
designation, just as long as people who don't abide by that agreement
are shown the door.

I really don't think you a whole slew of individual config tools for
individual gconf key settings.
Can't you do this sort of thing for gnome desktops by providing
pre-packaged sabayon profiles moving forward? Since sabayon seems to
be exactly the tool aimed at administrors to created pre-cooked user
profiles and apply those profiles to a user account as needed.
