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: http://muzso.hu/2009/07/23/gnome-settings-changing-global-defaults-and-setting-a-keyboard-shortcut-for-all-users). 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.
