Hiltjo Posthuma db2236001c 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.

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.


Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install

If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly
recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.


Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

    exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:

    while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
    do
    	sleep 1
    done &
    exec dwm


Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
