You can, for example configure the environment for one user, and then just copy
the .kde/ and the Desktop/ directories to the home directories for the other
users. The format is human readable, so you can edit them by hand if you wish,
but using KDE control center is more comfortable of course :-)

This isn't possible for KDE 1.1.2 IIRC, but will be with KDE 2.0.
