gnome-session-selector − Selects a session to use with gnome-session |
gnome-session-selector ([session]|--action [(save|print|load))]) |
gnome-session-selector can be used from a xsession desktop file to select a session before gnome-session is run. gnome-session reads and stores its session in the "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/gnome-session/saved-session" directory. gnome-session-selector works by replacing the saved-session directory by a symlink to another directory. Since the session name is used as the directory name, it may not contain ’/’ characters or begin with a ’.’. When a session name is specified, gnome-session-selector will create a symlink to select this session. When started without arguments or with --action load, gnome-session-selector will present a dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions or create a new one. When started with --action save, gnome-session-selector will present a dialog that allows to choose a session, or create a new one, then performs a session save operation. |
