* mplayer2 patched to skip pyton3 build requirement and use python2 instead
(https://github.com/init6/init_6/tree/ma ... o/mplayer2).
That patch allowed using latest mplayer2 version from git which supports all
tested media formats: mp4, ogg, ogv, flv, avi, mov, mpg, swf, wmv, mp3, wma.

* added lm_sensors (hardware monitoring program) and service file which loads
needed module (smsc47b397 for my computer) on boot. For others it will be
different module, so you would need to run sensors-detect to find out what
is needed module and manually replace smsc47b397 in /etc/init.d/sensors.
sensors-detect is perl script so make sure devel module is loaded...

* tint2 patched for mouseover effects (http://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=160)
