feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.
Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.
I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.

by disabling bold-font-name guessing (if their bold fonts are ugly).
I've turned the UI inside out, but the meat is pretty much the same.

box, in that it started to expand under the weight of proxy options.
Now fixed, by folding the SOCKS version selector into the general
proxy type selector so there's one single 5- or 6-way radio button
set split over two lines. settings.c has of course grown a backwards
compatibility wart to deal with legacy config data.

This menu is not yet fully populated, but it has an About box (yet
another licence location :-/ ) and supports the new configurable
specials menu (thus making Unix PuTTY do one tiny thing which
OpenSSH-in-a-pterm can't :-).

Unix-specific config items; moved a stray Windows-specific config
item (scrollbar-in-fullscreen) out into wincfg.c to stop it
appearing on Unix; continued updates to gtkdlg.c. I now believe the
GTK config box looks basically correct (modulo minor cosmetic issues
and keyboard accelerators). Next step, add the event handling so
it's actually functional.
