[dev] [lsw] [patch] Memory leak from XGetTextProperty

Dear suckless developers,

The manpage of XGetTextProperty mentions:

> An extra byte containing null (which is not included in the nitems
> member) is stored at the end of the value field of text_prop_return.

Which, if I understand correctly, means that the value field of the
property is dynamically allocated at every successful run of this
function, and even if nitem equals zero, in which case a bare '\0' is
stored into the field. Hence this patch, which frees the value field
at two places where this was not handled.

Sincerely,
Virgile Andreani
