gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-session [--choosesession] [--failsafe] [--purge-delay=DELAY] [--warn-delay=DELAY] [--suicide-delay=DELAY] [session-name]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-session  program starts up the GNOME desktop environment.  This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
       xdm, or from your X startup scripts).  It will load either your last session, or it will provide a default session for the user as  defined
       by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).

       You can optionally specify a specific session name to restore.

       gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager.  It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.

       gnome-session  uses  the  contents  of  the   ~/.gnome/session  file  for  starting  up	as  specified by the "Current Sesssion" key in the
       ~/.gnome/session-options file.  Various default values are provided in case the file entry does not exist.

       If the session file does not exist, gnome-session will use the contents of the /usr/share/gnome/default.session file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --choose-session=ARG
	      User can specify a session to load, as opposed to the session specified in the ~/.gnome/session-options file. If that entry does not
	      exist  in  the  ~/.gnome/session file (or if that file doesn't exist), it will use the default session and all saves to that session
	      will be to the new session name.

       --failsafe
	      Fail safe operations mode: only reads saved sessions from the default.session file.

       --purge-delay=ARG
	      The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to register, if you use 0 it will wait  forever  (default  value:
	      30,000 milliseconds).

       --warn-delay=ARG
	      The  number  of  millisecond  that gnome-session will wait for clients to respond, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value:
	      10,000 milliseconds).

       --suicide-delay=ARG
	      The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to die, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value:  10,000
	      milliseconds).

ENVIRONMENT

       gnome-session  accepts  all  of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari-
       able. [ xref to a manpage where this is documented. ] gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its  child  pro-
       cesses.

       SESSION_MANAGER

	      This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.

       DISPLAY

	      This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
	      from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.
