GNOME-SESSION(1)					      GNOME-SESSION(1)

NAME
       gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-session  [--autostart=DIR]	 [--default-session-key=KEY]  [--fail‐
       safe|-f] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION
       The gnome-session program starts	 up  the  GNOME	 desktop  environment.
       This  command  is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
       xdm, or from your X startup scripts).  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 GNOME installation on  your
       system).

       The  default  session  is  defined  in  the  GConf  keys	 under	/desk‐
       top/gnome/session.  When saving a session, gnome-session saves the cur‐
       rently	running	  applications	 in   the  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-ses‐
       sion/saved-session directory.

       gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager.  It can manage GNOME	appli‐
       cations as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       --autostart=DIR
	      Start  all  applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the
	      applications defined in  /desktop/gnome/session/default_session,
	      or  via  the  --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart
	      options can be passed.

       --default-session-key=KEY
	      Sets the GConf key from which  applications  running  a  default
	      session  should  be  read	 to  KEY.  If  not  specificed, /desk‐
	      top/gnome/session/default_session will be used.

       --failsafe
	      gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified	appli‐
	      cations will not be started.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging code.

ENVIRONMENT
       gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by
       gnome programs, other than the  SESSION_MANAGER	environment  variable.
       gnome-session  also  sets  several environment variables for the use of
       its child processes.

       SESSION_MANAGER

	      This variable is used by session-manager aware clients  to  con‐
	      tact gnome-session.

       DISPLAY

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