gtk+/gtk--
Is good and very easy to program with, dont need to know X internals (much
anyway). For a drawing example, look at the gimp :-) Its the easiest
toolkit I've found. This after X11, Xextensions, the awt, motif, XForms...
The perl interface to the gtk is almost a delight to use 8) Anyone else
used it ?
Pure X11 is the most difficult (naturally). See the source of XV for
examples.
