I’m starting to code up my own window manager, and was wondering how to use the xorg api to get from raw image data ( such as the data given by libpng ), into an Xorg Pixmap or something drawable by Xorg?

XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData should do just that. Remember that you need to feed in data of the same bit depth as your xserver is using.
