From 2ee6511dfc3c3cd766021d26554643bd984b18ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Make XRRGet*Property() always initialize returned values
Avoids memory corruption and other errors when callers access them
without checking to see if the calls returned an error value.
Callers are still required to check for errors, this just reduces the
damage when they don't.
(Same as reported against libX11 XGetWindowProperty by Ilja Van Sprundel)
