Hello,
I've had some xlib bindings laying around for a while, but they weren't
packaged as a proper R6RS library. I recently revisited this. They're
now available as a library '(psilab xlib ffi)' in this repository:
http://github.com/dharmatech/psilab
I say this message is semi off-topic because that code uses the Ypsilon
FFI. However, if Ikarus's '(ypsilon-compat)' library is someday extended
to include the full API, hopefully the xlib library will work on Ikarus
as well.
I also wanted to mention this here since alot of y'all also use Ypsilon.
Also available at the above repo is an experimental minimalist window
manager "cons-wm":
http://github.com/dharmatech/psilab/blob/master/cons-wm/cons-wm.sps
I'll say more about that later once the dust settles. One note for the
adventurous: if you have 'dzen2' installed, it will be used to display a
"pager".
It's minimalist, so there's not much to look at, but here's a screenshot
of it running in xnest:

In 'cons-wm', I'm also using Ypsilon's library '(ypsilon process)', so
an eventual port to Ikarus will also need to abstract over that.
The 'psilab' repository is for experiments that are specific to Ypsilon.
