mate-session
=============

mate-session contains the MATE session manager, as well as a
configuration program to choose applications starting on login.

You may download updates to the package from:

   http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/


Design notes
============

See https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SessionManagement/

The "kickout" patch
-------------------

This version of mate-session-manager has the idle session termination
on timeout feature. To switch it on for a particular user add the
username and the desired timeout (in seconds) to `/etc/logout` file.
For instance:

    user1 300

This would tell mate-session-manager process to exit if the session
for user `user1` is idle for more than 5 minutes.

============

In order to build this program from the source code you need git installed and
 a working MATE environment, with the development tools installed properly.

git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --recursive
./autogen.sh
