Here's one suggestion: G4U. http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ Briefly: this will allow you to set up one "perfect" workstation, with all your Gnome icons and launchers that you want, then clone lots of other desktops from that. It works with more OS's than just Linux, which can be a huge help in an OS-agnostic academic environment. Some people at our institution have tried Norton Ghost, which wasn't workable with Linux. G4U apparently (I haven't used it personally) works fine.
