XFDESKTOP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      XFDESKTOP(1)

NAME

       xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfdesktop
       xfdesktop [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfdesktop  manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment.  This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right-
       click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop.  Only one instance of xfdesktop can	be
       running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments.

OPTIONS

       --reload
	      Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back-
	      drop list.

       --menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.

       --windowlist
	      Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.

ENVIRONMENT

       xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.

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

BUGS

       Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/.  Development discussion should be conducted on the	xfce4-dev@xfce.org  mailing  list.
       Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list.

ORAGE(1)																  ORAGE(1)

NAME

       orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

       orage [options] [[FILE]...]

DESCRIPTION

       orage is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common
       calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities.  orage does not have group calendar features, but can
       only be used for single user.

       orage takes a list of FILEs for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into orage, but those
       files are left untouched.

       For a more detailed explanation of orage, please see the Help menu.

OPTIONS

       -v, --version
	   Print version information and exit.

       -?, --help
	   Print brief help and exit.

       -p, ----preferences
	   Open the preferences setting window.

       -t, --toggle
	   Hide orage if it is visible and show it if it is hidden.

       -a, ----add-foreign file [RW]
	   Add a foreign file into orage. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable.

       -r, ----remove-foreign file
	   Remove foreign file from orage. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately
	   using proper operating system command.

FILES

       All orage datafiles are by default in ~/.local/share/orage and all configuration files are in ~/.config/orage. (Note that you can change
       these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.)

BUGS

       Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email
       list.
