I am trying to teach myself how to write X programs.

To do this I am, quite sensibly, going through a few a few hello world apps to teach myself the basics. I can successfully create a window, but so far all attempts to draw anything to it have met with abject failure.

All I get is a blank white window and nothing else, not even any error messages.

Naturally, I assume this is something I have done, so I tried just compiling and running someone elses code... and get exactly the same result.

Most frustrating!

Any ideas?
