IMHO assuming that adaquate discovery/testing has been done prior to deployment *users* at foocorp should never need to edit config files at all beyond desktop/shell preferences. There are GUIs available for just about all of these. Pretty much the same sort of tweaks users can make to their own profiles in Windows. Now if foocorp has been running windows w/ users having admin rights by default the transition might be more interesting since the concept of locking user accounts down will be err... new.
