We have some batch clusters here and also desktops with KDE, Gnome, anf fvwm. 
The unix way to administer multiple mashines are scripts or tools like 
cfengine. KDE is _easily_ managable on 100 mashines with 100 users and 
something like cfengine and a clear separation between system setting/menues 
and user setting menues. Unix/Linux was multiuser from the beginning, I don't 
understand why somebody should suddenly have problems with many systems. If 
the only reason is, that they migrated from windows and don't know the unix 
way, it is surely worth to learn it. Why should I want to save my preferences 
in a database? I just have a few files in my $HOME. This system is proven to 
work and to scale.

Cheers,
Rolf
