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.
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.
