How I use Xlib binding ?
--------------------------


- add "import std.c.linux.Xlib;" to your code.
- use Xlib functions like in C with some minor change:
this bindings is more strongly typed than C version,it use D features
when it can.

so instead of writing:
    GC gc=XCreateGC(display,window,GCForeground | GCBackground,&values);
you while need to write:
    GC gc=XCreateGC(display,window,GCMask.GCForeground |
GCMask.GCBackground,&values);

For example you will compile your code like this if you're using dmd:
    dmd yourfile.d Xlib.d X.d  -L-lX11 (don't forget -L-lX11 ;) )

For a complete example read example.d

So... s/dmd/gdc and you get:

gdc yourfile.d Xlib.d X.d -lX11
