A few years ago, Springer-Verlag published a book called "The
Methodology of Window Management".  It was the proceedings of a workshop
the discussed most of the important issues for window systems.  This
book, the Xlib and Athena Widgets manuals, and the example and client
X source code, should be all that beginner X programmers should need.

For X users, rather than programmers, get the man pages for your
favorite window manager, terminal emulator, and applications.
