You need dconf
for this to work. Alternatively, those commands can be adapted to gsettings
.
There a two user accounts on my system between I share a common configuration.
To reapply those settings through GUI menus is error prone and cumbersome and this is why I do it like this:
a@machine$ dconf dump /org/gnome/ > /tmp/gnome.dconf
# you can also dump everything / or dump /org/gtk (nautilus settings) as well
b@machine$ cat /tmp/gnome.conf | dconf load /org/gnome/
