You could try logging in with user 'sample', fresh, and customize your
standard desktop. Once you're satisfied with it, copy all contents from
/home/sample to /etc/skel . When new users are created, their /home will
be copied from /etc/skel, thus giving you that same standard.
Quick, easy and effective.
