title: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper

dmenu-4.4.1 appends a newline to the outputted string representing the  
selected item, breaking xmonad-contrib's dmenu wrapper, which expects no  
newline. I've attached a patch to fix this. It's backwards compatible with  
old versions of dmenu. I've only tested it directly with ``dmenuMap``.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run code: ``dmenuMap $ M.fromList  
[("k_x","v_x"),("k_y","v_y"),("k_z","v_z")]``
2. choose "k_x" in the menu bar that pops up

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Return value should be ``Just "v_x"``. Actual value is ``Nothing``.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
reproduced on xmonad-contrib-0.10 and xmonad-contrib-0.9 with dmenu-4.4.1,  
worked with dmenu-4.2.1. Gentoo Linux
