As a beginning X programmer, I have found the following book to be a life
saver:

Introduction to the X Window System
Oliver Jones
Prentice-Hall

It explains the whys of Xlib and even gives some warnings about what NOT to
do and so forth.  It is weak but it is better than nothing.  What it really
lacks is programming examples.

Cheers!
