[comp.windows.x] xfig, xman input from keyboard not working

jwp@larry.sal.wisc.edu (Jeffrey W Percival) (01/03/91)

We use xfig and xman around here, and recently some unknown thing
changed and broke these tools.  Everything is fine until some
input from the keyboard is needed, for example to name the file.
The keyboard input appears in the window from which xfig was invoked,
not in the little box within xfig that is supposed to get the characters.
The keyboard input is not seen by the program.

What causes this?  We are using Ultrix 3.2 and 4.0 on Vaxen.
