explicitly link against libX11

The new 'gold' linker in binutils is a little stricter than traditional
ld; in particular, it defaults to --no-add-needed, which effectively
means that it requires applications to explicitly link against
libraries that provide functions that they explicitly call.  (Obviously
inter-library linkage doesn't have to be specified by the application -
that would be unreasonable.)

Since gnome-ssh-askpass2 uses XUngrabServer (incidentally, why doesn't
it use gdk_x11_ungrab_server to go with the existing call to
gdk_x11_grab_server?), it should link against libX11 itself as well as
relying on libgdk-x11's linkage.
