DESCRIPTION

15       xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment.
16       This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a  right-click
17       applications menu and middle-click window list menu.  Only one instance
18       of xfdesktop can be running at a time, and should be started by running
19       xfdesktop without any arguments.

26              backdrop list.

ENVIRONMENT

37       xfdesktop's  behavior  is  affected  by the following environment vari‐
38       ables.
39
40       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
41              Specifies the root for all  user-specific  configuration  files.
42              If  this  environment  variable  is  not present, it defaults to
43              ~/.config
44
45       XDG_CACHE_HOME
46              Specifies the root for all user-specific cache  data.   If  this
47              environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.cache
48
49

FILES

51       xfdesktop  reads  the  contents  of the applications menu from the file
52       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml.   xfdesktop  also  keeps  some
53       menu cache data in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/xfce4/desktop/.
