DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session command.
13
14       The xfce4-session program starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment and is
15       typicaly executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm,  gdm,  kdm,  wdm  or
16       from  your  X  startup  scripts).  It  will load your last session or a
17       default session that includes the standard Xfce programs  if  no  saved
18       session is available.
19
20       xfce4-session  is an standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any
21       X11R6 SM compliant program, including GNOME and KDE programs.
22
23       xfce4-session uses the contens of the ~/.cache/sessions/ directory  for
24       starting previously saved sessions.

OPTIONS

29       xfce4-session takes the following command line options:
30
31       --disable-tcp
32              Disable  binding to TCP ports in the ICE layer. This is not pos‐
33              sible on every plattform. If you use this option on a  plattform
34              that  does  not  support  it, xfce4-session will print a warning
35              message and ignore the setting.
36
37       --help Print a help screen and exit.
38
39       --version

ENVIRONMENT

45       xfce4-session's behaviour is  affected  by  the  following  environment
46       variables.
47
48       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
49              Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If
50              this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.config/
51
52       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
53              Set of preference ordered base  directories  relative  to  which
54              configuration  files  should  be  searched  in  addition  to the
55              $XDG_CONFIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be sepa‐
56              rated with a colon.
57
58       XDG_CACHE_HOME
59              Specifies  the  root  for  all user-specific cache data. If this
60              environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/
61

FILES

64       xfce4-session  reads  its  configuration  from   the   file   $XDG_CON‐
65       FIG_DIRS/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc.  xfce4-session stores its ses‐
66       sion data into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.
