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_CONFIG_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/

       XFSM_VERBOSE
              When   defined,   this   environment   variable   enables   debugging  messages  to  be  saved  to
              ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log The log file from the last session run with this environment variable
              set  is  retained  at  ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log.last  These  debugging messages are useful for
              troubleshooting and development.


FILES
       xfce4-session  reads  its  configuration  from  Xfconf.   xfce4-session  stores  its  session  data  into
       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.
