Xsession.options(5)                                        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 pre-
       fixing 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-termi-
              nal-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  directo-
              ries,  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  exe-
              cutable,  it  may  still  be used, but is assumed to be a Bourne
              shell script, and executed with sh(1).
       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.
