+ <term>
+ GUI
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A <emphasis>GUI</emphasis> is a
+ "graphical user interface". In &app;, the GUI
+ library provides a wrapper for mouse and keyboard events,
+ menus, windowing (where available) and a drawing area.
+ You must choose a GUI library during the
+ <link linkend="configure">configuration</link> stage.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis>Klash</emphasis> was the name given to the stand-alone
+ instance of &app; which used the KDE GUI. It has been replaced with

+ <term>
+ plugin
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The term <emphasis>plugin</emphasis> is used in &app; to
+ refer to both any &app; browser plugin, as well as the Firefox
+ plugin specifically. The Konqueror plugin is called
+ <emphasis>Kpart</emphasis>. Sometimes, the term is used in
+ an even more generic sense to refer to
+ <emphasis>extensions</emphasis>.

+ <term>
+ renderer
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <emphasis>renderer</emphasis> is the subsystem of &app;
+ which renders content. Only one renderer may be used; it is
+ chosen during <link linkend="configure">configuration</link>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Available renderers are: AGG, OpenGL, and Cairo. In terms of
+ feature completeness, AGG comes first; followed by OpenGL and
+ then Cairo. In most cases, AGG is preferred for performance,
+ except cases where it is beneficial to have hardware accelerated
+ rendering (for example, when you have a very slow CPU but a very
+ fast graphics card). In this case OpenGL should be used.

+ <term>
+ sound handler
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <emphasis>sound handler</emphasis> is the part of &app;
+ which handles both event sounds and streaming sound. Audio
+ from external sources are also handled through the sound handler
+ when SDL is used. The sound handler must be selected during
+ <link linkend="configure">configuration</link>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ There are currently two sound handlers available in &app;:
+ SDL and Gstreamer. The SDL sound handler uses ffmpeg or
+ libmad for decoding mp3-audio, although it can be built without
+ mp3-support. The Gstreamer-sound handler uses the available
+ plugins to decode the audio, so it might not work if some
+ important plugins are missing. The SDL sound handler is
+ recommended.
