Description
The ukui-session program starts up the UKUI desktop environment. This command is typically executed by
your Login/Display Manager (like GDM, LXDM, XDM, SLiM, or from your X startup scripts like .xinitrc). It
will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined by the
system administrator (or the default UKUI installation on your system).
The default session is defined in the dconf keys under /org/ukui/desktop/session/
When saving a session, ukui-session saves the currently running applications in the ~/.config/ukui-session/saved-session directory of the users /home.
ukui-session is an X11 session manager. It can manage UKUI applications as well as any other X11 SM
compliant ones.
