blinkenlights ui broken due to circular import

[Christopher Baines]

Hey,

Thanks for writing offlineimap, I haven't quite got in to using it
yet, but I'm quite excited by the possibility.

I was trying to work out why the blinkenlights didn't work for me,
and I realised that its a bug in offlineimap, as the import ends up
being circular [1].

Not quite sure how best to fix this, but I can confirm that moving
the "from offlineimap.ui..." import line one line up in
offlineimap/init.py does fix the issue for me.

Thanks again,

Chris
