Yes, I am writing a python module to interface with a Vim server. Vim uses X protocol to communicate on X-capable platforms. So I need to learn a little X to talk with Vim. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. I use Qt (PyQt) to do regular ol' development stuff. < snip good suggestion NOT to use X > > > If you really want basics, look for documentation about XLib; although > it'll take a lot more work to make things look pretty.

And Xlib is exactly what I am most interested in, but X Protocol is a little interesting.
