XFDESKTOP(1)
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 usercustomized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
