my take on this is that we can push the change as long as people can
still overwrite it in .xinit. so it should be somewhere in the code
before we load the user setting. I can't really see any harm if we do it
this way.

hmm, I wonder what the best way is to resolve this...My take would be to
leave the 0.18 in. I think all newer distributions have 0.18 now (the
gettext version was released almost 2 years ago) and older ones could
patch it during the package building... this would leave out people who
want to compile it themselves and are on older distributions and those
should be able to install gettext 0.18 by hand... My solution therefore
would be to pump the configure requirement up to 0.18, so that people
get an error message in case they don't have the correct version
installed...
