I hope they will license Graffiti, or something else that actually works.

The PDA runs X!? Are they insane?  Can you run the X-protocol acroos your
LAN? ie to display PDA apps on desktop and vice versa?
 It'd make development easier.

I suppose the standard Xlib manual, published by Oreilly, is good.
Its "Volume 1: Xlib Programming Manual" - thats vol 1 of the standard X
manual set.  Volume 2 is the reference manual, ie the man pages you
already have.

 There must be plenty of electronic versions floating about, if you
prefer.

There is an "embedded GTK" I think.

You might find some old X-lib based games to port.
