Well, if you make the assumption we'd have this fixed for the release
then it's only nicer if nobody actually likes or uses the GUI.  I
have never felt qualified to judge that, lots of other interesting
things wind up having the same dependencies on X (meaning odds are
high you'll wind up needing the X stuff anyway), etc.  I'm not looking
forward to yet another bikeshed about something like this.

But...  I'm inclined to leave it as-is.  On the release it should
be fixed and newbie users might find the picture-drawing capabilities
fun/cool while more hardcore users know how to deal with getting what
they want (and it's been this way for a while so they've had lots
of practice).  If there are strong opposing views ...
