linux_base should not be poluted with application specific kludges. In
principle it's still the minimal subset of packages that get installed
for a simple Red Hat installation. The addition of the one or two X
packages was mainly done because we didn't want to make a port out of
them...

Assuming for a moment that the issue is important: I can see that
kdelibs2 is not the right place as well, so maybe we should create a
special linux_x11 port after all in that case.

Let's see how this evolves...
