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.

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/.
