NAME

       startxfce4 - initialize an Xfce session

DESCRIPTION

       startxfce4  is  a  script  responsible for starting an Xfce session. It runs xinit passing the file specified in the FILES subsection as an
       argument.

       You may want to modify the default xinitrc file. In order to do that, copy /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc  to  ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc  and  modify
       that file.

FILES

       ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc
	      User configuration file

       /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc

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/.
