I just saw a special issue of Software - Practice and Experience devoted to X windows. It's dated October 1990, but only arrived today. It's not to be confused with the normal October 90 issue. The special issue are apparently in celebration of SP&E's 20th anniversary; they've got shiny red covers and various extra markings on the outside. There are several articles by designers and implementors. Also a fairly long critique (Why X is not the ultimate...) Preston Briggs
