                cumulative CPU time of a process.

        * Removed config item post_21_kernel since it forced all i2c device lookups

                  them into AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
        * allow decorated, own_window=yes windows to be given input focus by WM:
                - do not pass button clicks through to desktop in this scenario as conky
                  immediately loses focus.
