Hi guys.
I think the *main issue* will be the stuff in /etc/skel
You will need to :

sudo cp -f /etc/skel/.* $HOME
sudo cp -f /etc/skel/.config/* $HOME/.config

Or add a new user I suppose.

Then you *may* need to run:
xdg-user-dirs-update && update-menus to get your 'Places' menu in order.

If you end up using*PCmanFM* (I haven'tvimplemented this in the settings
program quite yet)
it would be good to run:

sed -i 's#show_wm_menu=0#show_wm_menu=1#'
$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/default/pcmanfm.conf

wallpaper="/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png"
sed -i "s#wallpaper=.*#wallpaper=$wallpaper#"
$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/default/pcmanfm.conf


*for s**eamonkey:*
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
sudo echo -e "\ndeb
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all
main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install --yes seamonkey-mozilla-build


*HERE are all the apps I install*
PPAPPS=(numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme numix-icon-theme-circle
torios-core torios-desktop torios-doc numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme
numix-icon-theme-circle mkusb jwm-settings-manager jwm)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mkusb/ppa &&
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:numix &&
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:torios-dev/torios-core &&
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install --yes ${PPAPPS[@]}

I think that will get you fully setup.
Let me know how this goes for you I downloaded the 'new' precise ISO and
will be trying this also soon :)
