The gnome-session-flashback package provides +a “fallback” session which is based on the GNOME panel and Metacity. You +can choose them in the display manager (typically GDM). + +If no suitable 3D acceleration is detected, the fallback session will be +launched in both cases. + + +Changing the window manager +--------------------------- + +The GNOME Shell requires mutter and cannot run with another window +manager. + +If you want to use an alternative window manager (such as compiz or +openbox), you need to select the fallback session. Then, put in your +.gnomerc file the following: + WINDOW_MANAGER=my_wonderful_wm + export WINDOW_MANAGER + + +Applications at startup +----------------------- + +Upon startup, gnome-session starts the following applications: + - Saved session: if you have saved a session, it is located in + ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/. You can enable automatic + session saving or manually save it in the "Startup Applications" + configuration applet. + - Autostart applications: applications shipping a .desktop file in + /usr/share/gnome/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart. This includes the + keyring manager, the settings daemon, nautilus and the power + manager. They can be selectively disabled in the configuration + applet. + - Required components: they are listed in the + /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/*.desktop file corresponding to the + current session (gnome or gnome-fallback). + +MIME types associations +----------------------- + +This package ships a list of default MIME types associations used when running +the GNOME desktop. +This file is installed in /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list. +The system administrator can override some associations by adding a file at +/etc/xdg/gnome-mimeapps.list or /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list if he wants to apply to +all the desktop environment. |
