The question I see (apart from certain flaws in your patch)
after all is:

Do we really want that dwm's status text is displayed
line-based? Isn't it fine as is, that it even does not break if
input is feed without line-terminators?

If we decide for line-based input reading, one easily could
block dwm from further event processing through running

echo -n foo | dwm

I think that'd be a big disadvantage.
