It sounds like input focus is being assigned to XRN's shell widget by
the window manager, which is just dropping the keypress events on the
floor. Since XRN normally relies on PointerRoot focus, it might break
when input focus gets set to something higher in the widget heirarchy
than the text widgets.

Try using XtSetKeyboardFocus(shell,widget) to cause the intrinsics to
re-direct your keypress events to whatever widget should be seeing them.
