(Note this is what Julien's patch did before I changed it.)

I thought of a slight problem with this approach.  If the message is 
"-print", "-center" or "-nearmouse" (and perhaps other options in 
future) then xmessage will think it is an option argument.  A workaround 
is to put an extra space at the end of the message string (say, after 
the uconvert) before passing it to xmessage.
