Bemenu is a dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu
with support for wayland compositors (and also X11 and ncurses).
Build and tested in NixOS 19.03.172392.6d7ed96429 in X11 (i3wm), wayland
(sway) and ncurses (kitty).
According to py3status' modules documentation [1]:
- i3ipc: Used by scratchpad_async and window_title_async modules.
- pydbus: Used by kdeconnector, mpris, systemd, vpn_status and wwan
modules.
- pyserial: Used by wwan_status module.

According to xsecurelock's configure.ac file, each of the add
dependencies are used to:
- libXrandr: XRandR provides information about monitor layouts and is
strongly recommended on systems which can use more than one monitor
(which includes most laptops).
- libXext: The X Synchronization extension is used to get per-device idle
times. Used by until_nonidle only.
- libXScrnSaver: The X11 Screen Saver extension is used to turn off the
screen saver when X11 handles screen blanking (e.g. via timeout) anyway.
Saves CPU power.
Adding libXrandr fixes an issue where locking a screen in a multi
monitor setup results in the prompt information to not be in the middle
of the screen. The other dependencies are not tested if they fixed
something, however since upstream recommends than I think it is fair to
include them also.
