What you are describing is usually accomplished with Kickstart:
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart

The challenge is distilling all your tweaks into scripting commands
for the %post section ;o)

To be honest though, it sounds very much like what you want could be
accomplished by Kickstart for your package selection and then simply
copying over a templated home directory created after you had made the
changes you want to an existing copy. Everything you describe is
configured in .config/, .gnome2/ or .gconf/ and simply backing those
up and untarring in your new installation might do what you require.
