We have such a setup. Like you say, I put an applications server at each location. Each user has a preconfigured 'default' location, and their /home/$USER is stored on the local applications server. Then, at each remote location, they have their home directory set to /remote/$USER, which is an autofs NFS mount back to their 'default' location.
It works pretty well, considering we're loading /home/$USER over just a T1 -- I turned off Firefox's disk caching to prevent ~/.mozilla getting too large and caching over the WAN. It takes awhile to log in (maybe 20-30 seconds) but once you're up and running it's very fast. Let me know if you need specifics or more information. I'm sure John's suggestion would work equally well, if not better; FreeNX is a good product.
