I started writing X apps by hacking some apps to be OffiX conform. Only with
man-pages. After this I wrote WMRack, basically by hacking ascd and learning
more stuff. Now I hack BIG apps (XEmacs) to do DnD, because I WANT IT (Dnd of
course).

The X11 manuals are not good. They are basically commented man-pages.

All you need are the man-pages. And use the source, Luke! ;-)
