Configuration file????
Excuse my ignorance please. I want my users to use the same color blue box boarder for all boxes they create. I know that I can set that color on my own machine and it will stay until I change it.
What file controls that? I want to install that same file into my users inkscape so we are all creating the same blue boarder.
Sometimes I just wish someone who understands me would tell me what I mean

I'm going to guess that you mean you want to share colour palettes?
If so, I think you can create your own. See the palette dir (default windows is below).
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\palettes

I am looking more at limiting the color choices to just the Ubuntu accent blue

Seems like a weird thing you are trying to do...limit an artist's choice of colours?
Maybe you can describe what it is you are actually doing and we might provide a better solution. "limit the color choices" is a solution (to which I'm offering one possible approach), but what is the actual *problem* you are trying to solve?
Anyways, you can create a custom palette, edit the existing Ubuntu palette and/or delete the other palettes all in that directory. The palette file is simply a text file (edit with Notepad or try using a good text editor). Format is pretty straight forward.

I made a screencast a while back regarding custom color paletts. You could make one for your students and only include the colors that you want.

What we are doing is using Inkscape to create cross references between an xml document and a svg graphic.
We will not be creating or changing the graphics at all, that is done by a whole other group of illustrators.
All my users will do is create a light blue box over the item we want to reference. We must have that box the same color every time it is created. In an ideal world I would like to be able to have the exact same size light blue box created each and every time.
So I just need Inkscape to create a light blue bordered box for each of my users

For what you want to do you could just save your new svg with the light blue box at the spec'd size. Then when working you first open the new svg and then open the one you are correcting and you can simple copy and paste the box into the new file. You will still have to distrubute/share a file to everyone but this will work for both of the requirements you have. Stamps/Tubes/Brushes would be easier but we don't have them, yet.

The file controlling the tools settings, e.g. the default style for the rectangle tool, is preferences.xml.
On Windows, this file can be found at: C:\Documents and Settings<your user name>\Application Data\Inkscape
On Linux, it may depend on your install, but for me it can be found at: /home/<your user name>/.inkscape
Copying this file to other users will give them all your preferences, including the tool settings. But heathenx's solution is probably much better for your problem. :-)

So how do I set default values for paper size, grid (mm/pixels), scale etc.?
Every time I open Inkscape I have to change all the deafult values of the above settings.

You have to create a svg file with the settings you want to use and save it as default.svg in your templates folder. The next time Inkscape starts will open this file as your new file settings.
