gnome-session for Debian
========================
GNOME 3 / GNOME Fallback
------------------------
The gnome-session package provides the standard GNOME 3 session, which
is based on the GNOME Shell. 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.
