Good point. Would adding "xinit" as a dependency be a better solution?
I am hoping that when "setup" informs the user that "gitk requires
xinit", it might it at least:
1. Alert the user to the fact that gitk now requires loading the X
server.
2. Spare the user having to run "setup" again to download the packages
they need.
