Added more dm, ldm, tint2. Added kicker to extra de info.

Biggest change, totally reworked the man page, now it's much more complete and has a lot more information.

Includes how to run in IRC clients, how to create konversation shortcut for /inxi type start.

Ok, that's it, probably will refine the desktop extra information and maybe add a dm or two more.

Also added in startx detection for when no dm was detected, thanks JavaAtom for that one.

+.B /exec -o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
 
-.SH NOTES FOR ALL USERS FOR THE OPTIONS SECTION
+If you leave off the -o, only you will see the output on your local IRC client.
+.TP
+.B Konversation
+.B /cmd inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+
+To run inxi in konversation as a native script if your distribution or inxi package did not do this for you, 
+create this symbolic link: 
+
+.B ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/kde4/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
+
+If inxi is somewhere else, change the path /usr/local/bin to wherever it is located.
+
+Then you can start inxi directly, like this:
+
+.B /inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+.TP
+.B weechat
+.B /shell -o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+
+For Weechat to run external scripts like inxi, you have to install shell.py (if you don't already have it). 
+To install shell.py, run this command inside of weechat: 
+
+.B /weeget install shell.py
+
+Then to run inxi, you would enter a comand like this: 
+
+.B /shell -o inxi -bx
+
+If you leave off the -o, only you will see the output on your local weechat.
+
+.SH PRIVACY AND SECURITY
+
+In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi filters out automatically on IRC things like
+your network card mac address, WAN and LAN IP, your /home username directory in partitions, 
+and a few other things.
+
+Because inxi is often used on forums for support, you can also trigger this filtering with the -z
+option (-Fz, for example). To override the IRC filter, you can use the -Z option. This can be useful 
+to debug network connection issues online in a private chat, for example.
