Hi
I want to write a program based on X .I need some documentation about
X (using X) .
Assuming that you want to make an "ordinary" application that is going
to run under X, you really want to use a toolkit. These days, Qt
(http://qt.nokia.com/) and Gtk (http://www.gtk.org/) are probably the
best alternatives.
They are much easier to work with than coding directly for X, and they
do a lot of things for you that is otherwise a royal pain to get right.
they both have serious shortcomings, and bugs, which make
target application either non-functional after routine API changes (nokia)
or bloated, buggy and slow (gtk).
coding either directly for X or using lighter toolkits (i.e. fltk)
has some point, and saves royal withdrawal after royal painkillers.
