NAME¶
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager
SYNOPSIS¶
xfdesktop
xfdesktop [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment.
This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right-click
applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons
on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be running at a time, and
should be started by running
xfdesktop without any arguments.
OPTIONS¶
- --reload
- Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to
reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using
a backdrop list.
- --menu
- Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to
pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse
cursor.
- --windowlist
- Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to
pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.
ENVIRONMENT¶
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.
- XDG_CONFIG_HOME
- Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration
files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to
~/.config
- XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
- Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in
which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is
not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg
FILES¶
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu.
xfdesktop can
also use a user-customized menu in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
