NAME

       xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfdesktop
       xfdesktop [options]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       --reload
	      Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back-
	      drop list.

       --menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.

       --windowlist
	      Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.

ENVIRONMENT

       xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files.  If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	      Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data.  If this environment  variable	is
	      not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg

FILES

       xfdesktop  searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu.  xfdesktop can also use a user-customized
       menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.

BUGS

       Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/.  Development discussion should be conducted on the	xfce4-dev@xfce.org  mailing  list.
       Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list.

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 the file $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc.  xfce4-session stores its session data
       into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.
