xfce4-session(1)	    General Commands Manual	      xfce4-session(1)

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  de-
       fault session that includes the standard	Xfce programs if no saved ses-
       sion 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  pos-
	      sible  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_CONFIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be sepa-
	      rated with a colon.

       XDG_CACHE_HOME
	      Specifies	the root for all user-specific cache data. If this en-
	      vironment	variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/

       XFSM_VERBOSE
	      When defined, this environment variable enables  debugging  mes-
	      sages  to	 be saved to ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log The log file
	      from the last session run	with this environment variable set  is
	      retained	at  ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log.last  These debugging
	      messages are useful for troubleshooting and development.

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