Script to globally set startup applications for all users

I'm writing a bash script to push "Preferences/Startup Applications"
settings to all users. I've tried changing the setting manually for
one user then looking at what files have changed. I found

.config/autostart
.gconfd/saved_state

both change. I thought about copying those 2 files to all users homes
but I'm afraid I may change more than just startup app settings.

Anyone have advice how to do this?

Thanks
