If I have to read the implementation to see what a function does,
what's the point of having a library at all?  I have to learn Xlib
anyways, so I might just as well be using it directly in my program.

After the few days I spent with gtk, I can see that documentation is a
huge problem.  I know: do I volunteer to write some?  No.
