 Essentially you place an rc file in the file system that defines the distro logo
 and website url. The file ought to be in some XDG_CONFIG_DIRS dir.
 
+Do note that the LogoPath may also be an icon name that gets resolved through
+the icon theme. Ideally the logo should be an SVG so as to be scalable for
+different screeen resolutions.
