If use you a login manager like GDM, you may have two ways to start Xfce : |
|
5 |
||
6 |
- “Xfce Session” will run a complete xfce session, using Xfce-provided
|
|
7 |
scripts (/usr/bin/startxfce4 which will then run /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc |
|
8 |
or $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc). |
|
9 |
- “Default session” will run whatever is the default session manager on
|
|
10 |
your system. This is the /usr/bin/x-session-manager alternatives, meaning |
|
11 |
you can tune it with update-alternatives (8). If you only have Xfce |
|
12 |
installed on your system, it will default to xfce4-session, meaning |
|
13 |
you'll be able to have an Xfce running chosing that option, but it'll be a |
|
14 |
minimal one because all the preparation made in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc |
|
15 |
before running xfce4-session won't be done. |

21 |
|
22 |
- use sudo, and allow user to run /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper in sudoers
|
|
23 |
- use dbus and hal
|
|
24 |
- hal and dbus should be installed, up and running
|
|
25 |
- user should be in powerdev group
