I found an Xlib manual in a tarball with a list of functions and info on how to use each.
It was very supprised of how useful it has been.
Unfortunatly it is missing some stuff.
for example I couldn't find XShapeCombineMask or XReparentWindow.
Where can I get info on those ones that aren't indexed?

beyond the shape.h header i havent been able to find anything on it and the other functions in the extensions directory. XReparent however is in the xlib reference manual (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/v2/) with a pretty detailed explaination of what and how to use. beyond asking on newsgroups and think you will be able to find much info on it, if you find anything let me know id like to know if there is any good documentation for the extensions. good luck

edit:
just ran across this on xfree86.org
http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0/doc/shapelib.TXT
it atleast has some info :)
