Sorry, I can't offer direct help, but you may want to look at some of
the excelent X tutorials. The documents on the X tape are really
specifications.  These are much more popular with beginners (listed in
no particular order):

Young, *X Window Systems Programming and Applications With Xt*,
Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-972167-3.
Jones, *Introduction to the X Window System*, Prentice-Hall, ISBN
0-13-499997-5.
O'Reilly and Associates, *The X Window System Series*, 4 volumes, ISBN
0-937175-26-9, 0-937175-27-7, etc.
Johnson & Reichard, *X Window Applications Programming*, MIS: Press,
ISBN 1-55828-016-2.

Also, you should read the "hello, world" paper by Rosenthal that's on
the X tape.
