Seconded. Go with something like wxWidgets or QT-4.
I wasted many months reinventing the wheel, yes it's cool to write stuff
raw in xlib, but it is a huge waste of time in the end.
I had to rip out all that junk and redo it properly, and I don't regret
that at all. Grab the wxWidgets book and go to town, you'll never look
back.
Emulith, my ETH / Diser Lilith emulator is nearly
complete.
However I would really appriciate if someone with a good grasp
of X11/xlib programming could have a look at the sourcecode.
Don't use xlib. Use a real toolkit. You're wasting a lot of time in
both reinventing old wheels and in code terms by handling stuff that's
already dealt with by nice quick libraries...
