Is there a solution to the problem of not receiving keyboard events in an
overrideShell popup under olwm (X11R4, Fixes 1-6, Sun4/110, SunOS 4.0.3)?
I have written an application using the Athena widgets and the toolkit
intrinsics which does set the input resource to true using the XtSetArgs
mechanism when creating the popup, and which works correctly with each of the
other five choices of window manager available under R4, but which refuses
to accept keyboard events under olwm. I note that there has been no response
to Jim Frost's similar question posted 2-March to comp.windows.x. Perhaps
there IS no solution, but could someone in the know please respond?

You will have similar problems getting input focus transferred to an overrideRedirect window with dxwm, the window manager shipped with DECwindows. You should reevaluate whether you do indeed want an overrideShell popup (it's rude), and if so, try grabs or use XSetInputFocus on the window. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Western Software Laboratory Digital Equipment Corporation mikey@wsl.dec.com decwrl!mikey 415/853-6677
