Hi Steve,
  I was recently trying to make a basic X11 application along with
learning some new window manager libraries.  I wrapped up some very
basic source code in C and put it up at
http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~kbrosius/pages/elibs1.html.  It's
biased towards the enlightenment development libraries, but the first
example is very basic (as far as X11 goes ;-) ) and you can remove the
Imlib2 parts if you want to try a simple window app.
