 +===== Debugging Support =====
 +
 +xfce4-appfinder currently supports three different levels of debugging support,
 +which can be setup using the configure flag ''--enable-debug'' (check the output of ''configure --help''):
 +
 +^ Argument  ^ Description ^
 +|  `yes`    | This is the default for Git snapshot builds. It adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this for development of xfce4-appfinder and locating bugs in xfce4-appfinder. |
 +| `minimum` | This is the default for release builds. **This is the recommended behaviour.** |
 +| `no`      | Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do. |
