/etc/skel is where the "skeleton" files are kept. These are the default 
configuration files that are copied to new users directories when accounts 
are created. So when you created your account you got your own copy that 
you can modify from there. I'm surprised that using the gnome and kde 
control centers didn't do the right thing. You might need to make the 
changes and then "save your session" to make the changes persistant across 
logins. A slightly more dangerous method would be to edit your 
configuration files by hand. Make sure to make backups first.

Let us know how it goes.
