Writing a program using low-level X calls is not a good idea, unless
you want to waste lots of time. It's better to use a more high-level
class library. Two that spring to mind are Qt (made by Troll Tech,
www.troll.no), which is used by the KDE environment, and GTK--
(part of the GNU project), which is used by the GNOME project
(www.gnome.org IIRC).
