# lxsession-default-terminal(1)

launch default terminal set by LXSession

## NAME

lxsession-default-terminal - launch default terminal set by LXSession

## SYNOPSIS

**lxsession-default-terminal**

## DESCRIPTION

**lxsession-default-terminal** is a wrapper around the LXSession D-Bus interface that launches the default terminal set by LXsession. It is equivalent to **lxsession-default terminal**, but it can be used when an application cannot use **lxsession-default**.

The application that will be launched is the one defined for the *terminal\_manager/command* set in the *desktop.conf* file.
