NAME¶
xfce4-session - Starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment
SYNOPSIS¶
xfce4-session
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
xfce4-session command.
The
xfce4-session program starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment and is
typically executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your
X startup scripts). It will load your last session or a default session that
includes the standard Xfce programs if no saved session is available.
xfce4-session is an standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any
X11R6 SM compliant program, including GNOME and KDE programs.
xfce4-session uses the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions/ directory for
starting previously saved sessions.
OPTIONS¶
xfce4-session takes the following command line options:
- --disable-tcp
- Disable binding to TCP ports in the ICE layer. This is not
possible on every platform. If you use this option on a platform that does
not support it, xfce4-session will print a warning message and
ignore the setting.
- --help
- Print a help screen and exit.
- --version
- Output version information and exit.
ENVIRONMENT¶
xfce4-session's behaviour is affected by the following environment
variables.
- XDG_CONFIG_HOME
- Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration
files. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to
~/.config/
- XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
- Set of preference ordered base directories relative to
which configuration files should be searched in addition to the
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be
separated with a colon.
- XDG_CACHE_HOME
- Specifies the root for all user-specific cache data. If
this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/
FILES¶
xfce4-session reads its configuration from Xfconf.
xfce4-session
stores its session data into
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.
