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/
- XFSM_VERBOSE
-
When defined, this environment variable enables debugging messages to be
saved to
~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log
The log file from the last session run with this environment variable
set is retained at
~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log.last
These debugging messages are useful for troubleshooting and development.
FILES
