Thanks, Jim.  I think you see from the other post that the main issue 
was solved.

Well, at first I thought maybe there was a UID type issue that could be 
changed by comparing and changing the settings.  I was clearly grasping 
for logic.

Your excellent how-to guide included this, and it works.  In fact, we 
are copying our template user's configs into here (/etc/skel) so that 
future users have the pre-defined desktop setting we want.

It is currently not working just right simply because not all monitors 
are automagically adjusting to 1024x768.  Once I figure that out, well, 
there will be something else.
