NAME¶
startkde - Starts up the KDE Desktop Environment
SYNOPSIS¶
startkde
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
startkde command. This manual page
was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not
have a manual page.
The
startkde script starts up the K Desktop Environment and is typically
executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your X startup
scripts).
startkde in turn launches ksmserver, which will load your
last session, or a default session that includes the standard KDE programs if
no saved session is available.
startkde, with ksmserver, is a standard X11R6 session manager that can
manage any X11R6 SM compliant program.
startkde and ksmserver use the contents of the ~/.kde directory for
starting previously saved sessions. Source scripts found in ~/.kde/env/*.sh
can be used to define environment variables that will be available to all KDE
programs.
For anything else (that doesn't set env vars, or that needs a window manager),
better use the ~/.kde/Autostart folder.
At the end of a session, the scripts found in ~/.kde/shutdown will be executed.
OPTIONS¶
startkde takes no command line options.
