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.
