Getting OT here:

I think this is a typical "use the source Luke" case. ;)

Try this:

$ locate intrinsic
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/PostScript/intrinsics.PS
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/intrinsics.TXT

and read it.

Besides that document you can have a look at the headers of the core X
libraries, like Xt and so on. Last resort may be to look at some X
extensions, XTest e.g. is for sending fake keypresses and the like. Or
ask some X programmers...

HTH,
