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 pos‐
	      sible 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 sepa‐
	      rated 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/

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