We discussed this problem a couple (look for mails of 7 january) of weeks ago, 
because I had the same problem with Slackware 11. You send me a new 
configure.ac for gb.desktop to test and that solved the problem. Anyway the 
other solution is: 

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib"

before ./configure

I've attached the configure.ac.
