Overall a x11-libs section sounds good to me.

I'm not sure about widget toolkits (and their dependencies). Moving all
of them and their language bindings to x11-libs would make that one
quite a big section, but we need to do something with them. Currently
the toolkits are spread over the grimoire:
qt-x11 -> kde
gtk+ -> libs
gtk+2 -> gnome2-libs
Xaw3d -> x11
wxGTK -> libs
lesstif -> x11
fox -> libs
fltk -> libs
...

Same goes for the language bindings. What about another section
x11-toolkits that can hold all the toolkits and the language bindings?
