 Right now, desktoputils provides rundesktop, a command-line tool to open a set
 of files in an application specified in a .desktop file.
 
+## Configuration
+
+desktoputils can be customized with a configuration file which currently
+supports the following settings:
+
+    [General]
+
+    # Determines where desktoputils takes the user's preferred terminal from.
+    # - Internal: use the Terminal setting below
+    # - KDE: (if compiled with KDE support) read from KDE settings
+    Terminal Provider=Internal
+
+    # When Terminal Provider is set to Internal, this is the terminal to launch
+    # applications in that have Terminal=true set in their desktop files.
+    Terminal=xterm
+
+The configuration file gets loaded from *~/.config/desktoputilsrc* and
+*/etc/xdg/desktoputilsrc*, whichever exists, in that order.
+
