We could try...

It basically boils down to:

a) I need basic x11 (gtk+, qt, etc)
b) I need cms (rxvt, icewm) (+32kB iirc)
c) I need xkb (xserver-xorg, xkb*) (+80kB iirc)
d) I need obsolete stuff (Xaw) (+2MB iirc)

a -> libx11-minimal.bb
b -> libx11-cms.bb
c -> libx11-cms-xkb.bb
d -> libx11-full.bb

Is that like you want?
