Bug Description

Fedora's Rawhide series use a new linker that no longer implicitly link DSOs, for security reasons:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking

Window Picker Applet's task-item.o uses libm's cos, but right now libm is not directly linked during the build process. This no longer works:

/usr/bin/ld: task-item.o: undefined reference to symbol 'cos@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'cos@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [window-picker-applet] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/window-picker-applet-0.5.8/src'

See attached patch for fix
