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?

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 last 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).

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.

gnome-session uses the contents of the /.gnome/session file for starting up as specified by the ''

If the session file does not exist, gnome-session will use the contents of the /etc/gnome/default.session file.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

--choose-session=ARG

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 doesn't exist), it will use the default session and all saves to that session will be to the new session name.

--failsafe

Fail safe operations mode: only reads saved sessions from the default.session file.

--purge-delay=ARG

The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to register, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 30,000 milliseconds).

--warn-delay=ARG

The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to respond, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 10,000 milliseconds).

--suicide-delay=ARG

The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to die, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 10,000 milliseconds).

ENVIRONMENT

gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment variable.
