The issue is that there are multiple providers of libx11 and when you
bitbake world, we don't want them all to build. For that reason it gets
excluded and then the correct version will get built as needed.

There are plans afoot to merge those different libx11 recipes at which
point the exclude from world will get dropped.

This was originally a list of known problematic packages and used to be
quite large. Looking at the list:

gobject-introspection: Totally broken recipe, I'm tempted to delete it.
eds-tools: Again, I'm tempted to delete the recipe
clutter-box2d: This should build, not sure why its on the broken list.

Chris replied about the other bits...

Cheers,
