I appreciate your time. I can tell it will definitely take time to figure all this stuff out. I can't wait to receive my X books. I also switched to mcwm, and its code is a lot easier to follow and almost every line has a useful comment. I only have thousands of lines of code to figure out now! :P
Thanks again!
Edit: I found this cool tutorial article on X programming

dh_installwm
DH_INSTALLWM(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLWM(1)
NAME
dh_installwm - register a window manager
SYNOPSIS
dh_installwm [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [wm...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the postinst and prerm commands that register a window manager with
update-alternatives(8). The window manager's man page is also registered as a slave symlink (in v6 mode and up), if it is found in
usr/share/man/man1/ in the package build directory.
FILES
debian/package.wm
List window manager programs to register.
OPTIONS
--priority=n
Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20, which is too low for most window managers; see the Debian Policy document for
instructions on calculating the correct value.
-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. Turns this command into a no-op.
wm ...
Window manager programs to register.
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
