I'm interested in doing some user-interface programming with C++.  X Windows
is already written in a object-oriented style, but in C, rather than C++.
What's the best way to combine the object-orietnedness of the X libraries
with the capabilities of C++, or at least to use them in C++?  It seems to me
that a C++-language interface to X would be not only useful to C++ users, but
also not too difficult to do.
