xmobar can be controlled over dbus. All signals defined in [src/Signal.hs] as
`data SignalType` can now be sent over dbus to xmobar.
+Due to current limitations of the implementation only one process of xmobar can
+aquire the dbus. This is handled in a FCFS manor, meaning that the first process
+will get the dbus interface. Other processes will run without further problems,
+yet have no dbus interface.
