bug#35259: 27.0.50; Segmentation fault (xstrdup gdk_monitor_get_model)

[Jhair Tocancipa Triana <jhair.tocancipa@gmail.com>]

As suggested, before commit 7308c2edf evaluating
x-display-monitor-attributes-list triggers the segfault:

,----
| $ ./emacs -Q --eval "(x-display-monitor-attributes-list)"
| ...
| /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xeb)[0x7f880cf3509b]
| ./emacs(+0x3f13a)[0x561dbeb0813a]
| Segmentation fault (core dumped)
`----

With commit 7308c2edf the issue was resolved.

Thanks!
