g15-desktop-service \- Starts Gnome15 Desktop service
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B g15-desktop-service [-c] 
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B g15-desktop-service 
Gnome15 is a suite of applications and plugins that provide
integration of the Logitech G series keyboards into the 
GNOME desktop environment.

This service is responsible for connecting to the underlying
service appropriate for the hardware (i.e. g15daemon or g19d),
managing and running the plugins, displaying the plugin's
output on the LCD, delivering key events to X when macro
keys are activated.

It also provides the DBUS service used by various clients
such as the Panel Applet, Indicator or System Tray Icon,
or other external examples that want to draw on the 
LCD.

The first time Gnome15 is used, you will be prompted for
which driver to use (additional packages may be required
for your hardware). 
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-l DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR"
