Migrate desktop appearance setting (cleartype) to other user (xfce)

Hallo,
i start JDownloader2 as a different user (jdownloader) from my main user account with 'sudo -b -u jdownloader XAUTHORITY=/opt/JDownloader/.Xauthority JDownloader'.

It works properly but it has standard appearance settings with cleartype font rendering enabled that i don't want. Thus i've copied my .config folder and .gtkrc-2.0 to the corresponding home folder (/opt/JDownloader) but it doesn't affect the rendering. The cleartype setting can be queried with 'xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/RGBA' and is stored in '/home/myuser/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml' but as i already copied the whole .config folder there must be something else.

So, how can i disable clear type or transfer these settings to the other user account without actually logging into that account (and configure it manually by gui)?
