Xwindows 'hello world' on fedora

I solved the "path" problems with locating proper Xorg package, finding header directory and lib directory.  I have a simple Xwindow up and running.

So what?
Nothing, just curious about Xwindows, it is an old model with redundancies everywhere,  but it has the 8 major draw routines that cover almost everything in the lab for quick 2D displays.

XWindows still forms the lower level window functions for the advanced window management systems like KDE and gnome. It should always be in the linux systems so portability is not a problem, managing file paths is the problem.
