No, that wont work you have to edit $users/.kde/share/config/kickerrc.
Easy enough with a script, but difficult for teacher admins.

When moving kickerrc to kde profiles you only make the change for every 
profile and you can even use kiosktool which is very teacher friendly :-)

My point is that using kiosktool you can easily make changes to the 
desktop for all users or groups of users when it comes to menu, 
background, themes and more but not the panel because kickerrc created 
by skel has a higher priority than kickerrc in the kde profiles.

I see this as a missing feature in Debian-edu (a small one :-) ) 
compared to Debian and there is no reason for this when moving your 
debian-edu specific kickerrc to kde profiles works just great.
