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 default ses-
     sion that includes the standard Xfce programs if no saved session is avail-
     able.

     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  ig-
	    nore 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 vari-
     ables.

     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 config-
	    uration files should be searched in addition to the $XDG_CONFIG_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 envi-
	    ronment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/

     XFSM_VERBOSE
	    When defined, this environment variable enables  debugging	messages
	    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 use-
	    ful for troubleshooting and development.

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