+Subject: [PATCH] user: Introduce user templates for setting default session
+ etc
+
+At the moment there's no easy way to set a default session, or
+face icon or whatever for all users.  If a user has never logged in
+before, we just generate their cache file from hardcoded defaults.
+
+This commit introduces a template system to make it possible for
+admins to set up defaults on their own.
+
+Admins can write either
+/etc/accountsservice/user-templates/administrator
+or
+/etc/accountsservice/user-templates/standard
+
+files.  These files follow the same format as
+
+/var/lib/AccountsService/users/username
+
+files, but will support substituting $HOME and $USER to the appropriate
+user specific values.
+
+User templates also support an additional group [Template] that
+have an additional key EnvironmentFiles that specify a list
+of environment files to load (files with KEY=VALUE pairs in them).
+Any keys listed in those environment files will also get substituted.
