ENVIRONMENT
       xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files.  If this environment variable is not present, it
	      defaults to ~/.config

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	      Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data.	 If this en‐
	      vironment variable is not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg

FILES
       xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu.	 xfdesktop can	also
       use a user-customized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
