I'm just starting to play with X, and think the whole concept is great.  I
particulary like the concept of the toolkit, and hiding the program's main
event loop.

My problem is that I don't really have a feel for when to use the toolkit,
when to use Xlib, how to use Xlib to create widgets for use with the
toolkit, etc.  Should my goals be to make EVERYTHING a widget?  Or to get
by with as few widgets as necessary?  Is it "cool" to call XtMainLoop,
and then still do traditional event processing in other parts of my code?
Is anybody aware of any documentation that deals with this type of 
issues?

More generally, how can I make sure I have the latest and greatest docs?
(I don't have access to ftp, unfortunately).  Also, is there any
example code out there I might be able to get my hands on?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Rabe
