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.
