Has anyone successfully compiled the twm that comes in uc1.tar with the
x11r3 distribution on a Sun 4 under SunOS 4.0? When I run it, everything
works but the keybaord. No matter where the cursor is, or where focus is
set, nothing that is typed is shown on the screen.
Hints? Please!

Try this patch, which I've previously posted. Note that your twm
version number may be 1.2 instead of 4.0 or 5.0, since it uses
the RCS version number and was checked in at MIT as 1.1, then 1.2.
It's a problem with grabbing keys. It's still a
problem in twm 5.0 (which is included on the R3 tape).
In twm 4.0, Tom added the ability to bind functions to keys on the
keyboard. The .twmrc file you're using probably references a key for
which your server does not have a keycode. In the .twmrc file, you
specify a key string name; this gets converted into a keysym, of
which there are many, and gives an error if the keysym doesn't exist.
The keysym then gets converted to an actual keycode, of which a much
smaller number generally exist. There is no error checking here;
if there is no corresponding keycode, a 0 is returned. This value is
passed as the keycode to XGrabKey, but 0 means AnyKey to XGrabKey, so
it grabs all keys.
Here's a patch for this problem. The line numbers match twm 5.0, but
it succeeds in patching twm 4.0 also.

I'm sorry about that folks, that is what I get for not checking the Cc: line on mail that I am replying to. That patch was not supposed to get posted again!
