Proposed fix

Patch attached.  From the commit:

It seems the reason for needing Xext is for the function DPMCapable(),
which is also available in the 1.1.x versions.  Without lowering the
dependency it is not possible to compile gnome-desktop (and thus anything
that depends on it) on a stock Ubuntu Lucid system.

====

After lowering the dep to 1.1 it built without problems for me.

Comment 2 sean finney 2011-09-20 07:32:13 UTC 
Hi,

would it also be possible to cherry-pick this into the gnome-3.2 branch?  like i said without this fix it's not possible to compile anything gnome 3.2-ish on a stock ubuntu lucid system, and it's a one-line fix...
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2011-09-26 08:26:51 UTC 
Cherry-picked in 3.2.
