 depends on how much stuff is in ~user/.xfce/


 I use Fluxbox, and in ~/.fluxbox/ there are only about 5 files so that's
 probably manageable.


 But if there is more than just a few it is probably best to just over-copy
 or sed-edit the specific ones you want to change. That way it's a lot more
 robust to version upgrades, and clearer what the edits you made have been.
 If you bulk copy the directory you'll have to redo the whole thing for
 each new release, versus (possibly) needing to slightly tweak the script.
