Replicating the desktop settings for one user based on another user

[Vera]

I would do the operations just by copying and pasting the files in Thunar opened as a root - by right click and choosing the root option, or by opening Thunar by the commands in the terminal: sudo su - [ password ] - thunar

These will open Thunar with admin privileges for me to copy and paste necessary files.  8)
I don't know whether this way is really elegant, but for me it is easier and faster as I am a former Win-user and got accustomed to do such things like this - without too complicated terminal commands.

Thanks [member=7594]NN[/member] , I tried your method. It worked well, but I had to do cd ~/.config first. Then, I was able to see xfce4 and do the copy and paste. But I can't get there via Thunar directly from the home directory, because I can't see .config that way. Still, this worked well once I was in the .config folder.
