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_CON-
	      FIG_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/

FILES

       xfce4-session reads its configuration from Xfconf.  xfce4-session stores its session data into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.
