Bug#614950: libgtk2.0-0: Linking error when compiling gtk program: libgdk-X11 does not link to libX11

[Hazel Russman]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.20.1-2
Severity: normal

When compiling a gtk program using pkg-config, I received the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-
gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to symbol
'XSetWMHints'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XSetWMHints' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try
adding it to the linker command line

When I added the explicit link -lX11, the program compiled successfully.

Here is the output of pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0:
-pthread -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0
-lm -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lgio-2.0 -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0.
libX11 ought to be included  but is not present.
