Xsession.options(5)

NAME

   Xsession.options - configuration options for Xsession(5)

DESCRIPTION

   /etc/X11/Xsession.options  contains  a set of flags that determine some
   of the behavior of the Xsession(5) Bourne shell  (sh(1))  script.   See
   the Xsession(5) manpage for further information.

   Xsession.options  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-'.

   Available options are:

   allow-failsafe
          If the 'failsafe' argument is passed to the Xsession script,  an
          emergency   X   session   is  invoked,  consisting  of  only  an
          x-terminal-emulator(1) in the  upper-left  hand  corner  of  the
          screen.     No    window    manager    is    started.    If   an
          x-terminal-emulator program is not available, the session  exits
          immediately.

   allow-user-resources
          If   users   have  a  file  called  .Xresources  in  their  home
          directories, these resources will be merged with the  default  X
          resources when they log in.

   allow-user-xsession
          If  users have an executable file called .xsession in their home
          directories, it can be used as the startup  program  for  the  X
          session  (see  Xsession(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 sh(1).

   use-session-dbus
          If  the  dbus  package  is  installed,  the  session bus will be
          activated at X session launch.

   use-ssh-agent
          If the ssh-agent(1) program is available and  no  agent  process
          appears  to be running already, the X session will be invoked by
          exec'ing ssh-agent with the  startup  command,  instead  of  the
          startup command directly.

   All  of  the  above options are enabled by default.  Additional options
   may be supported by the local administrator.  Xsession(5) describes how
   this is accomplished.
