12 uxlaunch is a program that initiates the X server and desktop environ‐
13 ment. It starts the main component of the desktop up as soon as the X
14 server is ready and relies on autostart .desktop files for other appli‐
15 cations to be started. uxlaunch Was designed to start the Moblin desk‐
16 top but can launch Gnome, Xfce and other desktop sessions as well.

19 -u [USERNAME], --user=[USERNAME]

22 various tests, or the user "meego" if none valid is found.
23
24 -s [SESSION], --session=[SESSION]
