This software is a light X11 session manager that evolved from XSM. It is perfect for users looking for fast and straightforward integration into their system processes.
LXSession, a lightweight X11 session manager, is a popular choice among Linux desktop users. It is based on XSM and serves as the default X11 session manager for LXDE, a lightweight desktop environment. An interesting feature of LXSession is that it is desktop-independent, meaning that it can operate without any specific desktop environment or dependency.
The goal of the LXSession project is to create a clean and simple X11 session manager that is not tied to any one specific desktop environment. It allows for customization of desktop environments, rather than loading a specific desktop environment by default. For instance, with LXSession, users can specify a list of applications, including window manager and other components, to launch and give this new combination a custom name, effectively creating their own customized desktop environment.
LXSession ships with a set of config files that offer a new desktop environment named LXDE. However, users can create their own customized desktop environment by copying the relevant files, editing them with a text editor, and specifying the applications they want to launch as well as giving their custom desktop environment a new name.
In conclusion, with its simplistic design, flexibility, and desktop-independence, LXSession is an excellent choice for creating customized desktop environments on Linux. The included tutorial provides a step-by-step guide for users looking to create their own unique desktop environments.
