GNOME−SESSION−SELE

NAME

gnome-session-selector − Selects a session to use with gnome−session

SYNOPSIS


	gnome−session−selector [session]

DESCRIPTION

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, gnome−session−selector will present a dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions or create a new one.
