You could start with xlibs-dev  - but it will also depend on whether you
are building gtk, gtk2 or qt based apps. You will need the developmant
libraries for those too, in that case.

For example, if you run

sudo apt-get build-dep sylpheed

you will see that it needs libs of the form libgtk*-dev  and so on.

apt-cache search libgtk dev     will show you some more gtk and gtk+ libs.

Similar commands would show qt dev libs, and so on
