💖 MATE-SESSION-PROPERTIES 💖

okay bestie, so like — mate-session-properties is the manual page for the MATE session properties tool, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, iykyk. it's the little GUI that decides what pops up the second you log in. we're gonna go through it together, no cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

mate-session-properties — configure applications to start on login. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mate-session-properties

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she takes no arguments, she just exists. main character energy fr. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the mate-session-properties program lets you (the user!) configure what applications should be started on login, on top of the default startup applications that are already configured on the system. like, the system has its own opinions, but you get to add yours too. 💅

it also gives you an interface to save a snapshot of the currently running applications, so they can automatically be restored to their current state on your next MATE session. it's giving "save point in a video game" honestly. obsessed. 🔥

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --display=DISPLAY — which X display to use. tell her where to show up. 🖥️
  • --version — spits out version information and then dips. exit stage left. 🚪
  • -?, -h, --help — prints the standard command line options. the classic trio, the holy trinity of "help me". 🙏
  • --help-all — prints all the command line options. not just the standard ones. the full lore. 📜
