Termite looks for the configuration file in the following order:
``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/termite/config``, ``~/.config/termite/config``,
``$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/termite/config``, ``/etc/xdg/termite/config``.

Termite's exit status is 1 on a failure, including a termination of the child
process from an uncaught signal. Otherwise the exit status is that of the child
process.
