In designing graphical interfaces for programs using X, I am aware that
there is a body of educated opinion and research that addresses the 
ergonomics of graphical interfaces, viz., such issues as what kind of
widget (in our terminology) to use for various data types, effective use
of fonts, point sizes, highlighting, color, contrasts, etc.  I am looking
for reference works on the subject; my personal reading list is inadequate
on this point.  I'm looking for stuff in print, not top-of-the-head
feedback from programmers.  Thanks.
