Instead of spawning awesome-client every couple of seconds to update the
widget, use Python's own native dbus interface. Fewer system resources used by
avoiding the spawn as well as removing noise on the dbus caused by open+close.
I haven't updated the tests for this as I'm unsure just how to test. The current tests
replace
awesome-client
with its own version that logs the request but doesn'tconnect to awesome. Problem is that by removing that layer(s), I haven't a clue
how to "intercept" or shim the dbus interface. I'm happy to take suggestions.
