<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DD>xdg-settings gets various settings from the desktop environment. For instance, desktop environments often provide proxy configuration and default web browser settings. Using xdg-settings these parameters can be extracted for use by applications that do not use the desktop environment's libraries (which would use the settings natively).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
xdg-settings is for use inside a desktop session only. It is not recommended to use xdg-settings as root.

<P>
|
|
|
|
When using xdg-settings to get, check or set a desktop setting, properties and possibly sub-properties are used to specify the setting to be changed.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Some properties (such as default-web-browser) fully describe the setting to be changed. Other properties (such as default-url-scheme-handler) require more information (in this case the actual scheme to set the default handler for) which must be provided in a sub-property.
