The X11 toolkit coming out in September has better documentation. I
thoroughly sympathize with your frustrations. What I'd suggest doing
is, first skim the documentation, second, look at the sources for some
toolkit applications (I don't know which ones you have available),
third, look at the toolkit sources.

Questions or comments on the toolkit should be addressed to xpert
(unless/until there's a list of it's own).

Bug reports should go to toddb at mit, they will get forwarded to us.
(Oh, yeah, I'm the person responsible for the intrinsics, and the
original implementation of some of the widgets, our group here
generally handles toolkit stuff.)

I'll see about prying loose some of our (rough) internal documents and
sending them to the list. The problem is that some are out of date,
some are badly written, and there just aren't very many of them at all...

We're working on improving the documentation. Donations of time and
expertise freely accepted...
