In two locations, we were sending pointers references to XGetProperty
without initially setting the pointers to NULL. This means that, if
XGetProperty fails, those pointers could still be referencing a random
area of memory, and at the end of the function, we would try and XFree
them, which would cause Maximus to crash.
In trunk, I've fixed this and will make a release shortly.
