+== Configuration Files Location ==
+
+The exact location of the configuration files varies widely from platform to platform, and even from one version of the OS to another...
+
+* for unix-like operating systems, the system configuration usually lives in {{{/etc/xpra}}} and the per-user settings can be placed in {{{~/.xpra}}} - you can also run the {{{xpra/platform/path.py}}} script for more details
+* on Mac OS X, we ship a command line tool found under {{{Xpra.app/Contents/Helpers/Path_info}}} which will show you the file locations you can also use - {{{~/.xpra}}}, although this is deprecated
+* on MS Windows, you can run the {{{Path_info.exe}}} tool found in the Xpra installation folder
