[solved] Custom Xfce startup

Hi!


I can't find the configuration for xfsession... and I'm not even sure if that's what I'm looking for. I lost track of what's xfce doing when started somewhere where it said "from here on xfsession handles startup" in a comment(I think it was in initrc).

I'm searching for the places to:
- change xfce startup globally
- start compiz instead of Xfwm4 (NOT replace already started Xfwm4 with compiz)
- add normal autostart items to be handled like needed parts of xfce instead
- eventually change the order in which stuff is started
(- possibly screw everything up so xfce doesn't start any more at all)


Could someone point me to the right direction?

Re: [solved] Custom Xfce startup

/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

This is XFCE's default session file. Of course, if you use the session manager and open all the programs you want to be autostarted then log out and check save session, they will be autostarted. Personally, I rather mess with the default session because the session manager gets confused.

Don't forget to rm -rf .cache/sessions/

Re: [solved] Custom Xfce startup

Thanks, that's it! I could have searched for .conf files that have the string "xfwm" inside until end of time.
