KDE 4 Default configuration - Customizing

Hi,

I have 4 Fedora 10 servers with KDE 4.

We are 2 administrators that we need to use them and we have our personal accounts on them, 2 accounts admin1 and admin2 and no root access.

I need to setup and configure KDE on all of them for all accounts ad I mean desktop wallpaper, start menu icons and application settings. In essence I need to change the DEFAULT KDE settings for all users so we can both login and have the same configuration without having to share a common account. The reason is that we need to have our tools on all 4 servers on the same spot in the menus so we don't lose time looking around for them each time we need to work on them,

I need to customize all configuration, from desktop wallpaper to kde menu icons and even widgets and their settings.

I tried using Kiosk but this didn't work at all, I tried copying my ~/.kde/share/config dir to /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share but that also did not work. I search everywhere but I cannot find where KDE gets it's default configuration files from (so I can overwrite them with my own).

So how can I do that, how does fedora (and other distributions) do this?

It's a pit none reply this relevant question. I'm back KDE3 only because KDE4 kiosk's lack. To leave KDE4 features open is completely inadequate to some several environments, like terminal servers (LTSP). I can't understand great developers wasting time reinventing the wheel (koffice, kmail, konqueror, etc) while un important tool like kiosk that could leverage KDE to corporate users is abandoned.
