(QubesOS) Backup and restore xfce4-panel configuration?

Software Qubes OS
1

I want to do a fresh install of QubesOS, and I’d really like to be able to backup and restore my current xfce4-panel configuration. I have several panels, some with lots of launcher items to run custom scripts, and it would be much easier if I could simply backup and restore them instead of having to recreate them. I figure that this isn’t even necessariy specific to QubesOS, but rather XFCE.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

I am reasonably certain it is. After saving a panel configuration, you can use Thunar to access this directory:

/home/{$USER}/.config/xfce/panel/

The directory will contain a launcher folder containing a .desktop file, which you can execute as-is to add more launchers to the XFCE panel.
