649 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
650 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
652 - dexter_client yes/no
653 - dexter_server yes/no
654 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)

670 immediately loses focus.

696 max_port_monitor_connections
699 * Added $entropy_avail, $entropy_poolsize and $entropy_bar
700 for the crypto freaks. Idea suggested by Perttu Luukko
