system.
Configuring Xfce4 Session
There are several optional run time dependencies for Xfce4: ConsoleKit-0.4.6, D-Bus-1.8.16,
GnuPG-2.0.26, hicolor-icon-theme-0.14 and OpenSSH-6.7p1
To launch Xfce4 use the command
startxfce4. If you
have ConsoleKit-0.4.6 installed, use startxfce4 --with-ck-launch.
ConsoleKit is required to perform
any task that requires administrative access, including shut down
and reboot.
When building an Xfce4 package,
some configuration files are installed in /usr/share/applications
, /usr/share/icons
, and /usr/share/mime
. In order to use those files in
your Xfce4 session, you need to
update various databases. Do that by running, as the root
user (you need to have the recommended
dependencies installed):
update-desktop-database &&
update-mime-database
