X is a very complex windowing system, and customizing it is not always simple. If the manual pages don't have the information you need, there are several other places to look:

• The X Consortium (the folks who maintain X) have a Web Page with all manner of information, including info about X, about the X Consortium, various projects which are underway, etc. All of this is available at http://www.x.org/.
• O'Reilly and Associates publishes a complete multivolume set of books on all aspects of the X Window system. Visit O'Reilly's web page for more information at http://www.ora.com/.
• Usenet News has several newsgroups dedicated to the X Window System:

news:comp.os.linux.x     (for Linux-related questions)
news:comp.windows.x.i386 (for questions about XFree86)
news:comp.windows.x      (for general questions about X)
news:comp.answers        (for FAQs and regular postings
                          related to X Windows)
