X is impossible.  So are the X manuals.  The _commands_ are described,
but the ideas are not.  So, for example, I have no idea what the
difference is between X and a window manager like motif or twm.  Or what
a widget is.  Are there any good books on how to use and program in X?

And are there any in the budget of a student?

Apologies if this is an FAQ, but there doesn't seem to be an FAQ
posting.

Thanks in advance.
