It might help to copy the stuff out of /usr/share/skel, too, like
this (untested):
cd /home
for user in `awk -F: '$3>999{print $1}' /etc/passwd`; do
cp -r /usr/share/skel ./$user
for dotfile in $user/dot.*; do
mv $dotfile `echo $dotfile | sed 's#/dot\.#.#'`
done
chown -R $user:$user $user
done
Take a look at /usr/sbin/adduser to see how it does it
