Definitely. If the OP intends to have one 'uniform' account for many users, I
would discourage this. You can create, let us day, 100 user accounts
(storage-wise, it's cheap), customise just one of these accounts and then
replicate .kde (among other 'dot' directories) across accounts to have a
'default' setting to all. E.g.:
sudo cp -r /home/defaultuser/.kde /home/user01/
sudo cp -r /home/defaultuser/.kde /home/user02/
sudo cp -r /home/defaultuser/.kde /home/user03/
[...]
Hope it helps,
