721 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
722 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
724 - dexter_client yes/no
725 - dexter_server yes/no
726 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)

742 immediately loses focus.
745 * Clarify LGPL license on timed_thread modules.

750 battery, e.g. "charging 75%" and

768 max_port_monitor_connections
771 * Added $entropy_avail, $entropy_poolsize and $entropy_bar
772 for the crypto freaks. Idea suggested by Perttu Luukko
773 <nuteater@users.sourceforge.net> in feature request 1497050.
