NAME
       Xsession.options - configuration options for Xsession(5)

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/X11/Xsession.options  contains  a set of flags that determine some
       of the behavior of the Xsession(5) Bourne shell	(sh(1))	 script.   See
       the Xsession(5) manpage for further information.

       Xsession.options	 may  contain  comments,  which begin with a hash mark
       (‘#’) and end at the next newline, just like comments in shell scripts.
       The  rest  of the file consists of options which are expressed as words
       separated by hyphens, with only	one  option  per  line.	  Options  are
       enabled	by  simply placing them in the file; they are disabled by pre‐
       fixing the option name with ‘no-’.

       Available options are:

       allow-failsafe
	      If the ‘failsafe’ argument is passed to the Xsession script,  an
	      emergency	 X  session is invoked, consisting of only an x-termi‐
	      nal-emulator(1) in the upper-left hand corner of the screen.  No
	      window manager is started.  If an x-terminal-emulator program is
	      not available, the session exits immediately.

       allow-user-resources
	      If users have a file called .Xresources in their	home  directo‐
	      ries,  these  resources  will  be	 merged	 with  the  default  X
	      resources when they log in.

       allow-user-xsession
	      If users have an executable file called .xsession in their  home
	      directories,  it	can  be	 used as the startup program for the X
	      session (see Xsession(5)).  If the file is present but not  exe‐
	      cutable,	it  may	 still	be used, but is assumed to be a Bourne
	      shell script, and executed with sh(1).

       use-session-dbus
	      If the dbus package is installed, the session bus will be	 acti‐
	      vated at X session launch.

       use-ssh-agent
	      If  the  ssh-agent(1)  program is available and no agent process
	      appears to be running already, the X session will be invoked  by
	      exec'ing	ssh-agent  with	 the  startup  command, instead of the
	      startup command directly.

       All of the above options are enabled by	default.   Additional  options
       may be supported by the local administrator.  Xsession(5) describes how
       this is accomplished.
