Often, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The image here will provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the D-Lux Typ 109 and X (Typ 113).

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D-Lux Typ 109 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Leica X (Typ 113) will provide you with more detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
