If you're using a version of GTK+ which expects the "--with-gdktarget"
option then I think it is true that X11 and directfb are exclusive since
you can only have one backend enabled at a time.  There's nothing you
can do in the recipe that will help with this, though it would be nice
if you got a sensible diagnostic rather than one of the options just
being silently ignored.

With newer versions (3.0 and later, I think) there are separate
--enable-FOO-backend options for the different backends and you can turn
on as many as you want at the same time.  In those versions I don't
think --with-gdktarget will do anything useful at all so this patch
won't work.
