This would be a good ground to start from. I (we) have built a
centralized-administration-poolsystem for running a lot of Linux-Nodes
without the need to maintain every single PC. In combination this
would be an efficient way for companies to handle an enterprise-wide
Linux-installation. One Admin for all, one installation for all, but
speed, security (Kerberos V, AFS) and extensibility (adding a new PC
takes less than five minutes, then it boots right into X)

Yes, because Gtk 1.3.x does not support UTF8.

You'll need to switch to GTK 2.2 instead, but as far as I know there
is no working windows-port, yet.

You might want to use remote-desktops (running on Linux) or even replace
Windows by this one-to-handle-all-Linux-structure I told you above.
