Eh, at least for ARGB, the X11 specific QApplication constructor is
(Display, QHANDLE visual, QHANDLE colormap), where QHANDLE is a
#define for void*. So, I would suggest using IntPtr for all three of
these. Imho wrapping X11 is out of the scope of Qyoto, and the code
necessary to open a display and find a visual can very easily be done
in C# directly talking to libX11 (I wrote some for Slicker it only
took a few minutes).
