GNOME !!!GNOME NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS ENVIRONMENT SEE ALSO BUGS ---- !!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. [[ xref to a manpage where this is documented. ] 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 contact gnome-session. __DISPLAY__ This variable is set to the X display being used by ''gnome-session''. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked. !!SEE ALSO default.session(5),__save-session(1)__ !!BUGS If you find bugs in the ''gnome-session'' program, please report these using ''bug-buddy'' or the ''gnome-bug'' script included with the GNOME libraries distribution. ----
