workdir could be got from active client via xprop, then set for spawned
client. Terminals can pass it with xprop -id ${WINDOWID} command from
hook, created for PWD change. Setting up hook depends on what shell is
used. For bash it's doable either via cd() function or PROMPT_COMMAND.
Example bash command:
> xprop -id "${WINDOWID}" -f PWD 8s -set "PWD" "${PWD}"
Rename gettextprop to gettextpropn, add proper gettextprop, for
unpredictable data length. Reading workdir may need unpredictable string
length. Just like with strcpy/strcpyn, variant expecting limited buffer
could end with 'n'. Well, it could be agettextprop, like asprintf, but
then what should match to sprintf...
