Its nuts to work with X11 directly. Its not meant for that ... its like trying to call the linux kernel directly using syscalls and assembly language, bypassing the C library. Among other things, X11 will give you coords relative to the upper left of the screen, which is almost surely not what you want -- you want coords relative to a window, the window in which your app will be drawing. Use gtk or gnome or kde. Open a canvas. You can get coords that way. --linas
