I am intrigued by the Fuji for something a bit smaller, but like the Canon 35 because, well, it's awesome.
What's the reason you're looking to buy more kit in the first place?
They're both great tools and neither will inherently restrict your ability to make great photos. You can't make a "wrong" choice here. On the other hand, neither are perfectly suited for all types of photo taking.
Do you want something small, light, and discreet? Do you like the idea of being able to see around the image frame? Do you want to maximize depth of field when shooting in low light? Do you want a secondary/backup body? The X-Pro1 & 35mm might be for you.
Do you wish your 17-40 had a faster aperture toward the long end? Do you like being able to see precisely what is in the frame, including DOF preview? Do you like shallow depth of field in wide angle photos? Do you want to keep all your kit in the same system? The Canon 35L might be for you.
The Canon 35L will probably hold onto its value better, as digital cameras tend to depreciate quickly. On the other hand, unless Fuji releases an X-Pro2, the old X-Pro1 will maintain value due to its hybrid viewfinder. The Canon is probably better for mainstream reportage, but I'd prefer the Fuji for most people photos because folks don't react as strongly to the smaller, friendlier camera. The Canon is probably better in dust and rain. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
I know I asked more questions than I answered, but I don't think you told us enough about what you want for anyone to give you a decent answer. :-)
Cheers,
Jon
