At the time I created the patch, the user couldn't run bitbake libsm
(for the same reason that it wouldn't be built automatically through
giflib's DEPENDS).

That said, I updated the repos after your mail and ran bitbake libsm in
order to get the error message again, but the error vanished.
Apparently, an indirect dependency on libx11 was dropped during the last
few weeks. I searched the logs, but didn't find the change. Strange.
Now, many x11 packages got built even though x11 still wasn't listed in
my DISTRO_FEATURES.

Anyway, please consider this patch obsolete. I'll probably resend an
updated version together with other patches to disable some more x11
libraries on demand.

Regards,
Andreas
