Richard,

It probably will depend on what desktop environment the user is running,
but try searching GConf and gconftool. This may turn up your answer for
Gnome. I would also ask in Linux forums, where you will probably have
better luck getting a definitive answer or set of answers. (But if you
find out, please share - it's ugly hyperlink blue here in Mint!)

Good luck,

Warren
