Wouldn't this be very distro-specific?  In my (very limited) experience 
with distros, the GUI config tools distros give you to make configuring 
your system easier often seem to maintain settings somewhere that 
overwrite the low-level configuration files/info used by the vanilla GNU 
tools on every (reboot|login|...).  And, even if you could modify the 
low-level config file directly, distros often install them in different 
locations.
