gnome-session
GNOME-SESSION(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SESSION(1)
NAME
gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug]
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 saved 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).
The default session is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session. When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently
running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory.
gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--autostart=DIR
Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined in /desktop/gnome/session/default_session, or
via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed.
--default-session-key=KEY
Sets the GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses-
sion/default_session will be used.
--failsafe
gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.
--debug
Enable debugging code.
ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari-
able. gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes.
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.
