The files that get written in the userdir are gconf XML files that have that  
particular username in them, so they can't just be copied to /etc/skel. In 
other words, if user rms changes themes, the config files have the text "rms" 
in them--they are not generic changes that can be dropped into /etc/skel.

I realize that your solution points to a workaround, but Fedora sets the 
default to Bluecurve somehow/somewhere. I would like to change the default 
the Fedora way. :)
