commit db2236001c1cb042a2f24052849da96578273b1c from: Hiltjo Posthuma date: Wed Dec 27 12:36:53 2017 UTC dont NUL terminate _NET_WM_NAME Reported by Kernc, thanks! "This makes a particular program that uses libwnck [1] fail after: Wnck-WARNING **: Property _NET_WM_NAME contained invalid UTF-8 in this code [2] because the returned string contains a '\0' and the documentation for g_utf8_validate() [3] explicitly states that when string length is provided, no nul bytes are allowed." It is not entirely clear it is incorrect, other WM's seem to not NUL terminate it either though. commit - 3756f7f6b8dccf7a31789ffaf073a76fd1a87eb9 commit + db2236001c1cb042a2f24052849da96578273b1c blob - ff893df5e8cf618db6dc9daa0d2e14f970fa28bb blob + ec6a27c6cda826db9b0c82956f834c51f7b34444 --- dwm.c +++ dwm.c @@ -1579,7 +1579,7 @@ setup(void) XChangeProperty(dpy, wmcheckwin, netatom[NetWMCheck], XA_WINDOW, 32, PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *) &wmcheckwin, 1); XChangeProperty(dpy, wmcheckwin, netatom[NetWMName], utf8string, 8, - PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *) "dwm", 4); + PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *) "dwm", 3); XChangeProperty(dpy, root, netatom[NetWMCheck], XA_WINDOW, 32, PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *) &wmcheckwin, 1); /* EWMH support per view */
