Replicating the desktop settings for one user based on another user

[NN]

Thanks NN, I tried your method. It worked well

I'm glad you liked this simple method.

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.

Oh, it's easy! You should have ticked 'show hidden files' on the menu (option 'View'). Any dot before a file name hides it, so .config (with a dot) is a hidden file while config (without the dot) is not hidden.
