+.TH x2goserver-xsettings 8 "Nov 2014" "Version 4\&.1\&.0\&.0-preview" "X2Go Server Component"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBx2goserver-xsettings\fP is an \fBx2goserver\fP component providing support
+for the \fIXSETTINGS\fP protocol\&.
+
+The \fIXSETTINGS\fP protocol as specified on
+\fBhttp://standards\&.freedesktop\&.org/xsettings-spec/latest/\fP is a means for
+desktop environments to store and apply settings globally for all applications
+running in a specific context\&.
+
+It is designed to be lightweight and reactive with changes being propagated
+instantly\&.
+
+This makes it a perfect fit for X2Go\&.
+
+Unfortunately, currently every desktop environment implements and provides its
+own settings daemon\&. Settings are not being shared and changes are contained to
+the very desktop environment they have been undertaken in\&.
+
+Thus, diverging settings for different desktop environments even on the same
+system are very common\&.
+
+\fBx2goserver-xsettings\fP aims to provide generic solutions whenever possible\&.
+
+For this reason \fBxsettingsd\fP has been adopted as the tool of choice to
+provide \fBXSETTINGS\fP support\&. It has no run time dependencies other than the
+C++ run time it has been built against\&. Settings are read from a plain text
+file\&.
+
+This package provides hooks for starting \fBxsettingsd\fP\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+\fBxsettingsd\fP uses plain text files as configuration storage\&. A default
+configuration handling issues with GTK-based applications is shipped as
+\fI@@SYSCONFDIR@@/xsettings\&.conf\fP\&. Edit the file to suit your needs\&.
+
+More sophisticated configuration handling is scheduled to be implemented at a
+later date and this documentation updated accordingly\&.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
