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.
