When compiled with the optional =with_dbus= flag, xmobar can be
controlled over dbus. All signals defined in [[https://github.com/jaor/xmobar/blob/master/src/Xmobar/System/Signal.hs][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
- acquire the dbus. This is handled on a first-come-first-served
- basis, meaning that the first process will get the dbus
- interface. Other processes will run without further problems, yet
- have no dbus interface.
