What are some other good resources for learning X? It seems like quite the dark art.

You can look here, they have a tutorial and a web version of the XLib Manual:

I would recommend against the Tronche site for references. It was automatically converted, but there are sometimes fields missing in places. I've tried emailing him, but the email address is disconnected. You can find reference documentation officially here:

http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/libX11/libX11/libX11.h... http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/xorg-docs/icccm/icccm....

I haven't read the tutorial, so maybe that's perfectly OK.
