I've attempted to wade through the Ultrix manuals to find the solution to this annoying problem, but haven't hit on the right library call yet. What is the 'trick' which will allow an applications dialogs and top level shell widgets to become 'selectable' by dxwm (and prehaps any click-to-select window manager). I have set the correct size hints for the top level shell, so dxwm has a resize/iconify/title bar attached to the realized window, but when I click on the window or attempt to type into a dialog within it, keyboard input remains focused on the last dxterm clicked on. Mouse events, on the other hand, behave correctly. I suspect I'm missing something obvious... Thanks, John Uhley uhley@smaug.cns.caltech.edu

The shell resource XtNinput indicates to the window manager whether an application expects keyboard input. If XtNinput is TRUE, the window manager gives keyboard input focus to the application under some condition, in this case clicking in the application window. If it is FALSE, the window manager may never give keyboard focus to the application. Donna Converse
