       icons on	the desktop.  Only one instance	of xfdesktop can be running at

ENVIRONMENT
       xfdesktop's  behavior  is  affected  by the following environment vari-
       ables.

       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_CON-
       FIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu.	xfdesktop can also use a user-
       customized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
