There are a number of C++ toolkits for X. However, the standard
framework is Xt, which is a C API. Some of the C++ toolkits are
layered on top of Xt and Xt-based widget sets (e.g. Motif), whilst
others (e.g. Qt) bypass Xt and use Xlib directly.
Toolkits which don't use Xt tend to produce applications which don't
integrate well with other applications, e.g. because they don't use X
resources, or use non-standard protocols for features such as Drag &
Drop.

There are a number of online tutorials. I can't recommend one in
particular, but there is a good list of X resources at:
