Plasma::Corona has a virtual method called loadDefaultLayout. DesktopCorona in 
kdebase/workspace/plasma/shells/desktop/desktopcorona.cpp implements this 
method and has a bunch of hardcoded defaults.

In KDE 4.4, however, we will be offering something much nicer: the ability to 
define default layouts using ECMA Script.

This means you can do things like offer different layouts based on screen 
resolution or different layouts for different users and groups using a very 
easy approach. You can read about it in the blog entry Juan linked to or see 
the (work in progress) API documentation here:

http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/design/plasma-
desktop-scripting

so for 4.4 this will be much nicer :)
