This patch allows Window Maker to run wmsetbg properly instead of
showing an error as it has been.

I haven't tested this, but the diff looks reasonable. Good catch. Any
chance you can submit this upstream as well?

I could bring it up, but I'm not so sure that it would be a change worth
considering. The Window Maker mailing list is very low volume, and no
one seems to have complained about this.

If it's okay with you, I'd like to push this change. I've heard nothing
from upstream yet.

Yes of course. I thought it was already pushed, sorry for holding it up!

No need to apologize! I misread the "as well" in your message as a
requirement before pushing. Pushed as fdb552bbd44e35d335ee1d430ffe5b0fc4bc237e.

I think it's a safe change, but I also think we should always let
upstream know when we are modifying string-handling code in C.
