WoW. I never knew the Xlib.h file was that extensive. I just printed it out from and didn't realiaze it was that big. (Probably becuase I printed it out from AIX). The total pages was 62 with 4671 lines.

My question though is this, is this the correct library to create a gui program in linux besides using QT and Wxwidgets?

Few applications use Xlib directly; rather, they employ other libraries that use Xlib functions to provide widget toolkits:

* Intrinsics (Xt)
* Athena widget set (Xaw)
* Motif
* GTK+
* Qt (X11 version)

I don't know how to dictate correctness or wrongness, but it is a viable option I'm sure.
