GNOME 2.22 focuses on utilities and standard applications

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:00:00 GMT
As you might expect, GNOME 2.22, the latest version of the popular desktop, which was released last week, has some functional tweaks and new default applications. If the release has a focus, it is on utilities, ranging from added features in standard GNOME applications such as Evolution and Archive Manager to improved accessibility and a handful of new applets. Few of these changes are dramatic, but the overall impression is of dozens of small enhancements that nudge GNOME toward greater usability.

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.
