this patch is awesome thanks for your efforts, the issue or bug is when miss typing one of ^ signs the wm crashes and log me out example: xsetroot -name "^c#FF0000 example", I know it is wrong implementation but the result was crash

I have also discovered this whilst debugging my own DWM instance. Any imbalance with closing ^ cause the program to keep reading until a ^ is encountered, even if this means reading memory which is outside of the buffer, resulting in a segfault crash. A simple fix would be to check the number of ^ BEFORE the null char \0 at the end of stext and, if that number is odd, default to the original "dwm-"VERSION status text and perhaps log the error to stdout/stderr. This defaulting to the string is also seen when setting stext to "" (xsetroot -name "" so it should be consistent with other fixes. Ill make a pull request shortly once i have tested my implementation
