That and read over the ICCCM, assuming you want to spend all your time 
hacking on Xlib lowlevel gunk instead of your game ;-)

You can surely use a toolkit, it doesn't mean you have to use the 
buttons and entry boxes, but you can use it to create a toplevel window 
and do things like clipboard. Then paint the game in a custom widget 
inside the toolkit window. You'll save yourself a whole lot of headaches.
