[dundee] Compiling GTK+ libX11 not found.. Argh!

[christopher wyllie]

Sadly I've been there and installed all the -dev things(including
libxext-dev) and still no joy. I did have a look over the config.log but
can't really glean anything else from it.

Here's a link to the config.log: http://pastebin.com/m36ca5a7d

Thanks :)
