754 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
755 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
757 - dexter_client yes/no
758 - dexter_server yes/no
759 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)

775 immediately loses focus.
778 * Clarify LGPL license on timed_thread modules.
782 * Split battery variable into two:
783 battery, e.g. "charging 75%" and
784 battery_time, e.g. "3h 15m".
