+===============================
+6: Using the leak checker
+===============================
+
+Nautilus is set up to use the libleakcheck.so leak checking libary. To
+use it run nautilus with LD_PRELOAD set to the path to the installed
+libleakcheck.so libary. For example, if you are using a
+bourne-compatible shell, like bash, you can run nautilus this way to
+run with leak checking:
+
+LD_PRELOAD=/gnome/libs/libleakcheck.so /gnome/bin/nautilus
