[dev] [surf] [PATCH] Fixed SETPROP() macro behaviour in config.def.h to handle escapes correctly.

From: Alexander Sedov <alex0player_AT_gmail.com>

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, echo -en 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.
