Typically, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the GX-1L and WB1100F.

As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GX-1L having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB1100F will render greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older GX-1L will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
