Log:
Displaying a short summary describing configuration options (if a description is available). Thus far I have summaries for a bit over a dozen of the general options (I'll finish off the general section, and leave the rest as a TODO for now). Idea for impoving the config panel came from Sebastian.

   * The default resolver isn't configurable.
+  * The arm header panel doesn't properly reflect when the ip address
+    changes. This provides a notice event saying:
+    "Our IP Address has changed from X to Y; rebuilding descriptor (source Z)."
   * The cpu usage spikes for scrollable content when the key's held. Try
     coalescing the events.
   * The manpage layout is system dependent, so the scraper needs to be more
