2 of the 2 people I know who looked into this decided that D bindings for C bindings for X is a silly exercise, since these C bindings are 95% generated automatically from XML files and there is no reason why that generator couldn't be adapted to directly output D code to create a "XDB". The remaining 5% (mostly login and X server connection handling) that have to be written manually never got implemented though :p -- Marco

Surely people must have communicated with X in other ways than the xlib in D?

I thought about doing XCB a few times but I keep going back to xlib because it really isn't that bad.

You can take a look to my bindings : https://github.com/D-Quick/XCB As I don't use them for the moment I am not sure there is no mistake in it, but it sure that it can be build without error. Sadly with my friend we do a break on the DQuick project and so many things are stopped in a intermediate step. Cause I did a special repo for XCB bindings, you can fork it easily and if everything goes right try to request an integration in deimos.
