Assuming that you want to make an "ordinary" application that is going
to run under X, you really want to use a toolkit.  These days, Qt
(http://qt.nokia.com/) and Gtk (http://www.gtk.org/) are probably the
best alternatives.

They are much easier to work with than coding directly for X, and they
do a lot of things for you that is otherwise a royal pain to get right.
