The apps you would particularly care about are things like:

	* Printer settings for anything that prints.

	* Star Office (printer settings, templates, default documents,
	  company files, etc).

	* Netscape/Mozilla (lots of configuration bits here).

Those are part of the ones you will have little control over.
