message: AFAIK GTK is not build over xlib directly but over GDK which is indeed over xlib —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.34.209.95 (talk • contribs) 27. aug 2006 kl. 16:25
In a quick check, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 uses these Xlib symbols directly:
XChangeProperty   XClearArea XExtendedMaxRequestSize XFixesChangeSaveSet XFlush XFree XGetSelectionOwner XGetWMNormalHints XGetWindowAttributes XGetWindowProperty XGrabKey    XGrabServer XIGrabKeycode XIUngrabKeycode XInternAtom   XKeysymToKeycode XMaxRequestSize XSelectInput XSendEvent  XSync XUngrabKey XUngrabServer.
GDK uses far more symbols from Xlib, but GTK does use it directly. TEDickey (talk) 15:46, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The oldest source available is X.V10R3, which has almost entirely 1985 copyright dates.
In particular, the Xlib portion has only 2 of 163 copyright notices with 1984 and 1985.
The other files are copyrighted 1985. Saying "around 1985" is misleading, and replacing
that with "circa" is not an improvement. TEDickey (talk) 21:27, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  appeared around 1985 

message: In the X.V10R3 sources, all of the copyrights in the X directory (corresponding to this topic) say
/* Copyright    Massachusetts Institute of Technology    1985   */ 
and the README file concludes with
                                        Robert W. Scheifler
                                        MIT Laboratory for Computer Science
                                        August 1985
The newest file in that directory is from February 1986.  In the sources, 416 files have a 1985 copyright date, 161 with 1986.  It seems that at least one release of X took place during 1985. According to comments  and here, it required a licensing agreement with MIT (comment apparently by Jim Fulton, who was an early X developer). TEDickey (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

:"Xlib and XCB compatibility was achieved by rebuilding libX11 as a layer on top of libxcb."
