User Commands gnome-session(1)
NAME
gnome-session - starts up the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--choosesession] [--failsafe] [--purge-
delay=delay] [--warn-delay=delay] [--suicide-delay=delay]
[session-name] [gnome-std-options]
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 either load your last session, or provide
a default session for the user as defined by the system
administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your
system). You can optionally specify a specific session name
to restore.
gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage
GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant ses-
sions. If the user has previously saved a session, the ses-
sion is loaded from the ~.gnome2/session file. Otherwise,
the session is loaded from the
/usr/share/gnome/default.session file. Any programs speci-
fied in the ~/.gnome2/session/.session-manual will also be
started.
gnome-session also exports an X Atom called GNOME_SM_DESKTOP
on the root window, to indicate that gnome-session has
started. Some applications may require such information to
proceed correctly.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--choosesession User can specify a session to load, as
opposed to the session specified in the
~/.gnome/session-options file. If that entry
does not exist in the ~/.gnome/session file
(or if that file does not exist), gnome-
session will use the default session, and
all saves to that session will be to the new
session name.
--failsafe Fail-safe operations mode: gnome-session
only reads saved sessions from the
default.session file.
