all repos — slstatus @ 6f011743921db04e5513df45c5ac4b2c752d52de

my build of slstatus (tools.suckless.org/slstatus/) 

Fixed possible NULL-deref and removed unnecessary XOpenDisplay()

- Added a check for the return value of XOpenDisplay() in main().
  This fixes a possible NULL-deref.
- Removed unnsecessary XOpenDisplay and XCloseDisplay from
  keyboard_indicators(). The ones in main() are sufficent.
