NAME

       ukui-session - Start the UKUI Desktop Environment.

SYNOPSIS

       ukui-session [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The ukui-session program starts up the UKUI desktop environment. This command is typically
       executed by your Login/Display Manager (like GDM, LXDM, XDM, SLiM, or from your X  startup
       scripts  like  .xinitrc).  It  will  load  either your saved session, or it will provide a
       default session for the user as defined by the system administrator (or the  default  UKUI
       installation on your system).

       The default session is defined in the dconf keys under /org/ukui/desktop/session/
       When  saving  a  session,  ukui-session  saves  the  currently running applications in the
       ~/.config/ukui-session/saved-session directory of the users /home.

       ukui-session is an X11 session manager. It can manage UKUI applications  as  well  as  any
       other X11 SM compliant ones.

OPTIONS

   The following options are supported:
       -a, --autostart=DIR
              Start  all  applications  defined  in  "DIR",  instead of starting the applications
              defined in /org/ukui/desktop/session/default-session
              Multiple --autostart options can be passed.

       -f, --failsafe
              Run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.

       --debug
              Enable debugging code.

       --display=DISPLAY
              X display to use.

       --version
              Output version information and exit.

       -?, -h, --help
              Print standard command line options.

       --help-all
              Print all command line options.

ENVIRONMENT

   ukui-session sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes:
       SESSION_MANAGER

              This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact ukui-session.

       DISPLAY

              This variable is set to the X display being used by ukui-session. Note that if  the
              --display  option  is  used  this  might  be  different  from  the  setting  of the
              environment variable when ukui-session is invoked.

FILES

       ~/.config/autostart
       /usr/share/autostart
       /usr/share/ukui/autostart

              The applications defined in the above directories will be started on  login.  ukui-
              session-properties(1) can be used to easily configure them.

       ~/.config/ukui-session/saved-session

              This directory contains the list of applications of the saved session.
