Hi Marco,

The Xlib programming manual like Russell suggested is probably the best 
reference out there.

But on the topic of writing a window manager, here's a snippet from 
#xorg-devel on FreeNode :

"don't write a new window manager or toolkit.  seriously."

If you still want to write a window manager, I suggest you try to hack 
on an existing one instead.

Best of luck :)
