.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-\-config \fIPATH\fR, \fB\-c \fIPATH
.\" .TP
.\" .B \-\-sync
.\" Make all X requests synchronously.
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-If you are using
-.B disobedience
-on the same host as the server then no additional configuration should be
-required.
-.PP
-If it is running on a different host then the easiest way to set it up is to
-use the login details window in Disobedience.
-Enter the connection details, use Login to connect to the server, and then
-use Save to store them for future sessions.
-.PP
-The other clients read their configuration from the same location so after
-setting up with Disobedience, tools such as
-.BR disorder (1)
-should work as well.
-.SH BUGS
-There is no particular provision for multiple users of the same computer
-sharing a single \fBdisorder\-playrtp\fR process.
-This shouldn't be too much of a problem in practice but something could
-perhaps be done given demand.
-.PP
-Try to do remote user management when the server is configured to refuse this
-produces rather horrible error behavior.
-.PP
-Only one track can be dragged at a time.
-.PP
-Resizing columns doesn't work very well.
-This is a GTK+ bug.
-.SH FILES
-.TP
-.I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME\-rtp
-Socket for communication with RTP player.
-.TP
-.I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME\-rtp.log
-Log file for RTP player.
