Ok this should get you going

Copy & past this to the script editor then middle mouse button drag to your shelf.

string $sel[];
int $temp[];
int $value;

$sel = `ls -sl -dag -ap -typ surfaceShape`;

for ($obj in $sel){
$temp = `displaySurface -q -xRay $obj`;
$value = $temp[0];
if ($value == 1)
displaySurface -xRay 0 $obj;
else
displaySurface -xRay 1 $obj;
}

go to the download section of this website and download the x-ray script from danny. Then open that .mel script with notepad or something and copy the code. Go into maya and open your script editor. In the bottom window of the script editor paste the code you copied from the .mel scrpit. Highlight the script you just pasted in the bottom window of the script editor. Move your mouse over the highlighted script, middle mouse button click and hold over the script, drag the script to the shelf and let go of the middle mouse button. You should now have a button that says MEL this is your x-ray button. You can change the icon and name to match kurts, or make it what ever you want after that.

Good luck
