Here in our school, we use sabayon to deploye a standard profile for 
every users, each one get the same "skeletom" then he can apply changes 
in his personnal profile, as their homedir a on a central NFS server 
which is automounted on every shared stations (FC4 !) .

Here's how it is run at GDM connexions:
[root b03-07 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d]
$ cat sabayon-xinitrc.sh
#!/bin/bash

#
# Apply the Sabayon profile for the current user (if any)
#

if [ "x$DISABLE_SABAYON_XINITRC" = "x" ] ; then
 if [ -x /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply ] ; then
   /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply /etc/desktop-profiles/profile-gnome-s2ia.zip
 fi
fi

The /etc/desktop-profiles/profile-gnome-s2ia.zip was generated from the 
sabayon "admin"  interface. It is deployed on every station with the 
wonderfull tool: cfengine (www.cfengine.org) .

I never used sabayon for setting a personnal profile, we use it for 
global settings (for everyone !)

I've used a french doc at the beginning:
http://rd.cri74.org/index.php?2005/05/10/11-documentation-sur-sabayon
otherwise there's some doc on http://www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon/
