Believe the BQ system still uses the /etc/skel structure (according to
the programs anyway) so you should be able to create the structure
or template of what you want in an user account in /etc/skel/user/<lang>
directory and it will "recreate" that for each user you add to the system.
(where <lang> is the two letter language abbreviation).
