[comp.windows.x] Help...novice X programmer going nuts with DECstation 3100

grh@cbnewsl.ATT.COM (george.r.heuer) (04/14/90)

To any DECstation experts:

	I've recently started writing X software under Xt
using the Xw widget set on a DECstation 3100 (running X11R3)
and have run into a problem that I can't seem to find a way
around.  Apparently, DEC has modified the Xlib or Xt library
code such that client programs start up without the ability
to obtain the keyboard focus via the usual window manager
procedure of just clicking on the window.  To date, I haven't
found a way of forcing the keyboard focus to my application
except via the Dwt widgets and we've decided that we don't
want to use them.  Has anyone figured a way around this
quirk of the 3100?  Any help would be much appreciated.
