We just took an excellent class covering X concepts, Xlib and some Motif
from Technology Exchange Company (1-800-333-5177).  Ask for the 
instructor who designed the class.   He was excellent.  Brandon Training
Group (1-800-441-3696) also offers a good (I hear) class with more of a 
Motif emphasis.  Good luck!
