XFCE4-DICT(1)															     XFCE4-DICT(1)

NAME

       xfce4-dict -- a client program to query different dictionaries

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-dict [option]  [text ...]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-dict  allows  you	to search different kinds of dictionary services for words or phrases and shows you the result.  Currently you can
       query a "Dict" server(RFC 2229), any online dictionary service by opening a web browser or search for words using  a  spell  check  program
       like aspell, ispell or enchant.

OPTIONS

       If called without any arguments, the xfce4-dict main window is shown.  Any passed text argument(s) are used as search text.

       -d, --dict
		 Search the given text using a Dict server(RFC 2229).

       -w, --web Search the given text using a web-based search engine.

       -t, --text-field
		 Grab the focus on the text field in the panel (has no effect if panel plugin is not loaded).

       -s, --spell
		 Check the given text with a spellchecker.

       -i, --ignore-plugin
		 Start stand-alone application even if the panel plugin is loaded.

       -c, --clipboard
		 Grabs	the  PRIMARY  selection content (X selection clipboard), uses it as search text and performs a search. This is useful when
		 you want to create keyboard shortcuts for this command.  The search method can be specified with the -d, -w and  -s  options,	if
		 not  specified  the  default  search  method is used.	If the PRIMARY clipboard doesn't contain any text, the normal clipboard is
		 used.

       -v, --verbose
		 Be verbose (print useful status messages).

       -V, --version
		 Show version information.

       -?, --help
		 Show help information and exit.

       xfce4-dict supports all generic GTK options, a list is available on the help screen.

BUGS

       There is a limitation of max. 12 characters in passing a search term to xfce4-dict when the panel plugin is loaded. That is, if you pass  a
       search  term  as  command  line argument(s) to xfce4-dict which is longer than 12 characters, it is truncated. To be exact, the limit is 12
       bytes so if the search term contains any non-ASCII characters it might be even less than 12 characters.	To work  around  this  limitation,
       you  can  add  the command line '-i' so that xfce4-dict will start a single stand-alone application. Then all passed text is used as search
       term.

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/.
