Does anyone know how to transfer settings from .config to system wide so
when using Remastersys, the settings stay saved?
Where/if an application looks for system wide settings is really
application dependent - have a look in the man pages (or other
documentation) for the applications you care about.
I know many will look for a config file somewhere in /etc/ and then
whatever is in ~ can override some of that, but where in /etc/ the
application is going to expect the config and exactly how that will
interact with one in ~ is application dependent (e.g. gconf has both
default (that can be overridden by the user) and mandatory (that can't)
settings:

One option might be to put the configuration files you want in
/etc/skel/ - these will be copied into ~ when a new user is created.
That only gives a starting point for the configs in ~ though, if you
make changes to /etc/skel/ after a user has been created they wont be
reflected in the user's ~. You could do something with links to get that
to work but it would require your users to remove the link and make a
normal file before they could make changes.
