NAME¶

lxqt-session - Session manager of LXQt: The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS¶

lxqt-session

DESCRIPTION¶

This module handles session autostart application over LXQt desktop environment startup.

The LXQt modules are desktop independent tools, and operate as daemons for the local user on desktop specific operations.

LXQt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on the Qt framework. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface, with minimal resource requirements. It comprises several optional desktop components:

* Session module (this, normally invoked with startlxqt)
* Settings configuration center
* Application launcher
* Desktop
* Panel with optional plugins
* Polkit authorization agent
* SSH password access
* Display manager module
* Power management module
* Sudo/su module (privilege elevation)

These components perform similar actions to those available in other desktop environments, and their name is self-descriptive. They are usually launched automatically, when choosing a LXQt session in the Display Manager.

BEHAVIOR¶

This application manages the LXQt session desktop behavior, module loading, and related startup programs prior loading the user workspace. By default this module loads the panel, desktop, and power management modules, thus it is important for a working LXQt session.

AUTOSTART¶

The modules are only shown by default in the LXQt desktop environment, but an autostart action can be created for other preferred desktop environments.
