# Enabling the custom desktops for users

To activate the changes made using TLDC, create a symbolic link in `/opt/thinlinc/etc/xstartup.d`:

    $ sudo ln -s /opt/thinlinc/bin/tl-desktop-activate.sh \
       /opt/thinlinc/etc/xstartup.d/35-tl-desktop-activate.sh

The ThinLinc session startup will read this file and write a `~/.config/menus/applications.menu` (and possibly create symbolic links under `~/.kde/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop` if you’re using KDE).

Note

The TLDC activation script only runs TLDC for non-root users. Test your TLDC configuration using a normal user.
