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. 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_CACHE_HOME
Specifies the root for all user-specific cache data. If this environment
variable is not present, it defaults to
~/.cache
FILES
xfdesktop reads the contents of the applications menu from the
file
R $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml .
xfdesktop also keeps some menu cache data in
R $XDG_CACHE_HOME/xfce4/desktop/ .
