 Desktop-profiles is a framework for activating and deactivating profiles (conditional setups) for the various desktop environments in Debian.

 On X startup an Xsession.d script is run that activates all profiles for which the criteria are met in order of precedence.
 .PP
-For KDE, Freedesktop, ROX, and UDE activating profiles is done by setting, respectively, the KDEDIRS, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS & XDG_DATA_DIRS, CHOISEPATH, and UDEdir environment variables. All those variables, with the exception of UDEdir, take a precedence ordered list of the root directories of activated profiles. UDEdir contain a single directory, namely the root directory of the highest ranked activate profile.
+For KDE, Freedesktop, XFCE (>= 4.2), ROX, and UDE activating profiles is done by setting environment variables: KDEDIRS for KDE, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS for both Freedesktop and XFCE, CHOICESPATH for ROX, and UDEdir for UDE. Each of these variables, with the exception of UDEdir, takes a a precedence ordered list of root-directories (of activated profiles). UDEdir takes a single root-directory (that of the profile with the highest precedence).
 .PP
 For GConf profiles a user-specific path file is generated containing all the "configuration sources" needed for the to-be-activated profiles. To actually activate the profiles the system-wide path file (/etc/gconf/<gconf-version>/path) needs to be replaced with one including the generated path file (e.g. /usr/share/doc/desktop-profiles/examples/path ; which will give the same behaviour as the default gconf setup using profiles).

 The actual contents of the profiles is filled in by things conforming to other freedesktop standards (e.g. the 'menu specification'). A list of freedesktop standards (that are being worked on) can be found at http://freedesktop.org/Standards. Most of these standards are still under development and not (yet) widely supported. Eventually you can probably suspect support of at least KDE, GNOME, ROX, and XFCE.
