We're using Gnome. Sabayon, sadly, is a good idea but didn't work.
I solved the problem of setting Gnome preferences globally by doing the following:
1. create a new user testuser and set up that user's Gnome profile the way I want it.
2. chmod -R a+rwx /home/testuser/.gconf*
3. mkdir /UNIVERSAL_CONFIGS
4. cp -r /home/testuser/.gconf* /UNIVERSAL_CONFIGS
5. rm -rf /home/*/.gconf*
6. create a little shell script called cpmult to copy the new config files to everyone's home directory:
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(ls /home);
do cp -rfpv /UNIVERSAL_CONFIGS/.gconf* /home/$i;
done;
This is pretty round-about but it worked. I'm really surprised Gnome doesn't have this functionality built in.

Edit the following file:
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdesktoprc
The particular thing of interest is the following stanza:
[ScreenSaver]
Enabled=true
Lock=true
LockGrace=120000
Priority=19
Saver=KRandom.desktop
Timeout=1800
You can set Lock=false
You should also be able to use the KDE immutable option next to the
stanza name so that users cannot override these settings, eg.
[ScreenSaver] [$i]
Note though, that an rpm update may obliterate your changes, so you
could create your own kde profile and add it in /etc/kderc which is how
I've done similar things for our computer labs.
