+This is the MATE terminal emulator application. mate-terminal is
+only the shell (menubar, prefs dialog); the terminal emulation ("stuff
+in the middle") comes from the VTE widget. Remember this when
+choosing a bugzilla component. ;-)
+
+How it works
+===
+
+Profiles -
+ all settings are stored in profiles. prefs dialog edits the current
+ profile
+
+Session -
+ just the number of open windows/tabs and their profile is stored
+ per-session
+
+Command line options -
+ do not overlap things that are preferences
