Hum, this is not really teacher friendly. In lot of school there a re
not admin, and the student refistration is done by the teachers.

A metaphore modeled on the school organization is probably more around
school level. 

Not to mention that some student may not go to the next class.

Ok, it could be a subjet for a job student. How to modelize into
Skolelinux

Oh, very minimal.

Set various Desktop preferences configuration in
/etc/skolelinux/profils/ (mainly kde related stuff as menu and so on)

Then a tool in webminuser interface to let the admin update a user
Desktop profil from one in /etc/skolelinux/profils/. Update will be
delete user .kde and copy the new one.

It could also be a student job.

Yes, right NX is probablt the solution for now. VNC could be another
option.
