[comp.windows.x] Why does X-programs running under XView/NeWS not respond to key-press

(This is an X discussion; X programs don't run "under NeWS", although
they run under X11/NeWS.  It's not necessarily Sun-specific, either....)

There may be other window managers that require this as well.  Note well
the ICCCM's discussion of input focus....
