If the avahi GTK UI app is needed when X11 is enabled, this should be a decent
enough way to work around the condition.

However, I question if avahi should -ever- be producing the gtk component.

>From the investigation I did, the gtk component is something that helps with
discovering mDNS servers (either prompting the user or simply displaying status,
I'm not sure).  Is this of use to anyone using oe-core?  Otherwise I'd be in
favor of simply removing the X11 option from the avahi package.

(I talked with Saul about this already on IRC.. he's concerned that we'd be
turning of required [by someone] functionality... I'm really not sure it is
required by anyone...)
