<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>/etc/X11/Xsession.options</I>
|
|
|
|
contains a set of flags that determine some of the behavior of the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+Xsession">Xsession</A></B>(5)
|
|
|
|
Bourne shell
|
|
(<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+sh">sh</A></B>(1))
|
|
|
|
script.
|
|
See the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+Xsession">Xsession</A></B>(5)
|
|
|
|
manpage for further information.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>Xsession.options</I>
|
|
|
|
may contain comments, which begin with a hash mark ('#') and end at
|
|
the next newline, just like comments in shell scripts.
|
|
The rest of the file consists of options which are expressed as words
|
|
separated by hyphens, with only one option per line.
|
|
Options are enabled by simply placing them in the file; they are disabled
|
|
by prefixing the option name with 'no-'.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Available options are:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>allow-failsafe</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If the 'failsafe' argument is passed to the
|
|
<I>Xsession</I>
|
|
|
|
script, an emergency X session is invoked, consisting of only an
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+x-terminal-emulator">x-terminal-emulator</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
in the upper-left hand corner of the screen.
|
|
No window manager is started.
|
|
If an
|
|
<B>x-terminal-emulator</B>
|
|
|
|
program is not available, the session exits immediately.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>allow-user-resources</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If users have a file called
|
|
<I>.Xresources</I>
|
|
|
|
in their home directories, these resources will be merged with the default
|
|
X resources when they log in.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>allow-user-xsession</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If users have an executable file called
|
|
<I>.xsession</I>
|
|
|
|
in their home directories, it can be used as the startup program for the X
|
|
session (see
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+Xsession">Xsession</A></B>(5)).
|
|
|
|
If the file is present but not executable, it may still be used, but is
|
|
assumed to be a Bourne shell script, and executed with
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+sh">sh</A></B>(1).
|
|
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>use-session-dbus</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If the
|
|
<B>dbus</B>
|
|
|
|
package is installed, the session bus will be activated at X session
|
|
launch.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>use-ssh-agent</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+ssh-agent">ssh-agent</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
program is available and no agent process appears to be running already,
|
|
the X session will be invoked by exec'ing
|
|
<B>ssh-agent</B>
|
|
|
|
with the startup command, instead of the startup command directly.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
All of the above options are enabled by default.
|
|
Additional options may be supported by the local administrator.
