You might want to take a look at ProjectManager in Étoilé svn.  It is a 
compositing window manager written in Objective-C.  All of the XCB* classes are 
wrappers around various X functions (using xcb, since there is no reason to use 
the legacy xlib in new code).  Basic compositing and window management work 
already and the code is permissively licensed so can be reused in any project.
