The default icons are created by /usr/lib/opensolaris-welcome/ 
opensolaris-icons-copy.sh.  I'm not sure exactly what process runs  
this script and when, but modifying it might be one option.

Ideally, you'd really use the JDS Configuration Manager[1] (or the  
subsequently open-sourced version, APOC[2]) to centrally manage your  
users' desktop configuration, but I'm not sure that's been updated  
recently enough to work with OpenSolaris.

Yes, unfortunately gnome-session-save is broken in GNOME 2.24-- the  
community decided to rewrite it, but they didn't have time to do it  
properly :/  I'm not sure if there is a clean way to log out from the  
command line in 2009.06, you might just have to use 'kill gnome- 
session' until this is fixed.  (Which it is in GNOME 2.26, IIRC).

Cheeri,
