One thing you need to be aware of: there's a reason for libraries like 
wxWindows, Motif, GTK. xlib doesn't know anything about buttons, menus,
scrollbars,
etc. You have to create those yourself. I quote: 

"Because of its low-level interface, like the Microsoft Windows SDK, it can make
for some
very complex programs that apparently achieve very little. One book on the
author's shelves
contains a version of the 'Hello World' program written for Xlib. It does
nothing other than
display 'Hello World' in a window, together with a button marked 'Exit', which
does the obvious
thing when you press it. The program listing runs to five pages!"
