+# Pd GUI plugins
+
+The pd-iemutils package includes a few GUI plugins.
+The pd-gui automatically loads all GUI plugins it can find in the standard
+paths, and there is no way to disable a specific plugin.
+Since not all plugins are desirable for all users under all circumstances,
+Debian ships the plugins in a separate (unsearched) directory, and leaves the
+task of enabling them to the user.
+
+To see a list of plugins run:
+
+    ls /usr/share/pd-gui/available-plugins
+
+To enable a given plugin (e.g. the 'kiosk-plugin') create a symlink into your
+~/pd-externals directory
+
+    cd ~/pd-externals
+    ln -s /usr/share/pd-gui/available-plugins/kiosk-plugin .
+
+To disable the plugin, simply remove the symlink.
+
+After you have enabled/disabled a plugin, you need to restart Pd in order to see
+an effect.
