Terminal Services configuration hierarchy

For terminal service settings, does anybody know the over-ride hierarchy? I know certain settings in certain places override each other, but I can't keep them straight and I'm having a hard time understanding this section from my MS book... it's written by two athors and I think you can see where it jumps around a bit if you've read it.
Ideas?

Basically, the TS Configuration tool on the server can be used to override any TS option placed on an individual user in Active Directory.
For example, if you have a user in AD and go to their Properties > Sessions tab, and set "End a Disconnected Session" to never, but on the server TS Config you check the box "Override User Settings" and set End Disconnected Session to 5 min, the result is the 5 min setting for any user AS LONG AS THE USER CONNECTS TO THAT SERVER FOR TS.
Now I can't remember if a user's GPO can be used to override the TS server setting, but I don't think it can. -

Nope, nothing overrides those damn connection settings. In order of processing:User's preferences (in RDP client)It's my policy/preference to never touch the connection settings (my Citrix build script even resets them to default just in case) and instead do everything through GPOs - I would recommend you do the same.
then
Applicable GPO's (normal processing order of GPOs - be aware Loopback is common here)
finally
Connection settings on Terminal Server
