From f6dc8b25418e541f7d7b9c3ce63c763918a15d90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Sedov Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 20:49:10 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fixed SETPROP() macro behaviour in config.def.h to handle escapes correctly. xprop prints information in format PROPERTY(STRING) = "escaped string", which causes problem with repeated Ctrl-F: any non-ascii turns into \ooo\ooo, this later turns into \\ooo\\ooo, and so on. To de-escape string, printf(1) is used, getting information from xargs -0; without -0 xargs will try to handle escapes by itself and also do shenanigans with quotes, which is totally undesired.
