Xfce 4.18 dependencies versions

[andre at andreldm.com]

Hi Romain,
I agree with you and Alex, current "stable" distros should stick to 4.16, their next versions should target 4.18 if we don't delay it too much. I can't stress this enough: who wants bleeding edge packages, should use a bleeding edge distro, simple like that.

Cheers,
Andre Miranda
