Well, if you've installed the xmanuals (or xdocs..?)
you have a man-page for every xlib function, but I'm under the
impression tha's not what you are looking for...
You could always try:
http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.html
But, believe me, if you REALLY want to start programming in X, the best way
is to visit your local bookstore. And there, look for stuff with Xt or
Athena.
Optionally, you could try GTK+ which has a somewhat usable tutorial
with examples on
http://www.gtk.org
Good luck!
