NAME.

lxqt-session - Session manager of LXQt: The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

lxqt-session

DESCRIPTION

This module handles starting applications under LXQt

The LXQt modules are desktop-independent tools and operate as daemons for the local user on desktop specific operations.

LXQt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on the Qt framework. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface, with minimal resource requirements. It comprises several optional desktop components:

* Session module (this, normally invoked by startlxqt (X11)) or by the compositor)
* Wayland session
* Configuration center
* Application launcher
* Desktop
* Panel with optional plugins
* Polkit authorization agent
* SSH password access
* Global shortcuts
* Power management
* Localization
* User and system time administration
* Sudo/su module (privilege elevation)

These components perform similar actions to those available in other desktop environments, and their names are self-descriptive. They are usually launched automatically, when choosing a LXQt session in the Display Manager, except Global shortcuts which is not launched under Wayland.

BEHAVIOR

This application manages the LXQt session desktop behavior, module loading, and related startup programs prior loading the user workspace. By default this module loads the panel, desktop, globalshortcut, runner, notifications, policykit, and power management modules, thus it is important for a working LXQt session.
