Skip the howto's if you want to learn about configuring X in general.  The
best book for this is OReilly's "X Window System User's Guide", number 3 of
their series on the X Window System.  This is the book that explains what
users need to know about X, and, many many years ago, its where I got
started.

Understand whats in this book, and you'll understand X applications in
general much better.
