Yes you're right. I probably tested it with a file containing only a newline.
Anyway the '--with-vendor-info=FreeBSD' seems to be unnecessary. You
explained it as a workaround and my patch shows that no such
workaround is needed. If you don't want the vendor tab with some
appropriate text to appear in the xfce4-about, it's better to disable
it completely than making an empty file that nobody really needs.
